Penny’s Profile |
When my sister started school, I was three, and devastated to be left behind as she headed off each morning I started ‘playing school’ with my dolls and stuffed toys, and eventually my little brother. My love for school, and everything it contained – from reading class, to math to recess, was only outdone by love of playing at teaching. It was no surprise to anyone that after finishing my first degree, I went back to teachers college.
Over my 20+ years in education I have been lucky enough to teach in both the private and public sectors, to teach in Canada, England and in Asia, Africa and South America. I have been a classroom teacher and an administrator and more recently have enjoyed writing for publications such as Westcoast Families, BC Parent and Island Parent as well as having an opportunity to share my love of learning and teaching on the radio.
I hope this blog will become an ongoing conversation and a resource for parents about how to engender a love of learning and a joy for school in children across Victoria. Welcome to Teacher Talk.

Hi Penny,
I’d like to invite you on the next Real Parenting to chat with me about your helpful parent teacher interview tips. I’m not sure how to reach you, so can you please get in touch with me at realparenting@shaw.ca? Thanks!
