Panel:
Daniel Troisi (Ed'18) is a recent graduate of Queen's Faculty of Education. A Red Seal Chef by trade and graduate of the University of Guelph's Hospitality & Tourism Management program, he believes in the merit of experiential learning opportunities in the classroom. Daniel is currently teaching senior level Hospitality & Tourism classes. He is the SHSM and Dual credit lead as well as boys football coordinator for his school.
Emily Moorehead (Ed'03) is a Kindergarten teacher with the Limestone District School Board. Within a play-based kindergarten program, she ensures a sound start for early readers and spellers by employing structured literacy as a way to connect and build strong foundational skills. Through playful and joyful daily literacy activities, Emily’s little learners grow into readers! Routines practiced and learned at school allowed for a smooth transition to remote learning - and ensured that the learning continued even when schools were closed.
Rosalie Griffith (ConEd'98) has been working for the Toronto District School Board, the largest school board in the country, for over twenty years since leaving her second home of Queen's, where she was the Education Students’ Society President in her final year. She has experience teaching at the elementary, secondary and postsecondary level, with “gifted” and “marginalized” students, in suburban and urban settings, including work with students of First Nations communities. She has qualifications in Guidance, Library, ESL, and Adolescent Literacy and in 2016 she became an Administrator at the secondary level.
