Instructors
Suzanne Webster is a Master of Education (M.Ed) and has been in the teaching profession for 12 years. Suzanne focuses her attention on the development of students’ literacy, especially at the high school stage. She believes good teachers teach beyond the content of the subject; they empower students by teaching them how to learn. By enabling students with lifelong learning skills and strategies, every one of them can succeed in school. Suzanne encourages her students to know who they are as learners; only then they will understand which learning styles and strategies work for them and which ones don’t. That will lead them to succeed in their tasks and enjoy school. Suzanne has also helped teachers who wished to improve as professionals. She was the curriculum leader for Language Arts and ESL in her school in Calgary, and has trained teachers in Brazil and Mexico.
