As a foreign teacher in Japan teaching in English to students at a Japanese high school, my job can be challenging at the best of times. Trying to keep the students engaged and motivated while presenting information in a language that they are not proficient at involves a combination of patience, humour, flexibility, and understanding. Faced with the present pandemic, teachers everywhere have struggled with similar tasks of trying to maintain academic standards and integrity while teaching their students at a distance.

Hello! My name is Katie Croft and I am near the end of my journey with the Faculty of Education program, graduating July 2018. I am in the primary/junior division and my FOCI is Leadership in School Organizations. Queen’s has provided me with such an amazing experience from the program itself to the classes and to the practicums and I would love to share this experience with you.
