Developing

for curious minds

& collaborative environments

Below is a sample of the curriculum I’ve developed over the past 20+ years.

If you’re interested in what I might develop for you, reach out via my Contact page.

ONline / VIRTUAL Curriculum

  • 10+ years developing and delivering online seminars and courses

  • develop asynchronous self-paced curriculum with modules including quizzes and reflective responses

  • provide video content, including narrated slides with alt text and edited transcripts

  • audio recordings for podcast-style course

  • provide reading lists, notes, and citations

Program Development

  • Developed 3-year intensive Spanish language and literature curriculum, including OAC Grade 13 level (Ontario university equivalent)

  • Co-developed 5-year French immersion program — Humanities components, including sciences humaines (8e–11e), langue et littérature (8e–12e)

  • Developed collaborative cultural exchange between French-speaking classes in different countries. In-Terre-Action program uses social science lenses and urban theory to share comparative analysis of local neighbourhoods.

Course Development

  • AP French Program (College Board Approved)

    • activities included a time-travelling simulation bringing together various historical characters (played by students) to discuss in a student-moderated roundtable current-day issues posing threats to modern humanity (e.g., water scarcity, climate change, food security, surveillance, poverty and homelessness, the carceral system, industrual pollution and environmental racism)

  • AP Spanish Program

    Activities included speculative collaborations like:

    • El arca de Noé, in which students imagined building a future on another planet, and collaboratively negotiated in Spanish which species to bring with them from Earth

    • role playing as members of an international team, each with a personal stake in their discovery of a life-altering substance in a remote region. Within their group, without revealing their character’s bias, each member must negotiate to advocate for collective action that fulfills their own agenda.

Workshops

  • Monde-redi — developed Saturday bilingual junior Model UN sessions for elementary school students, facilitated and live-interpreted by high school French immersion students

  • Roundtable editing — developed collaborative writing and editing sessions for journalism students. Students read aloud and shared news stories and essays, collaboratively editing them.

  • Style guide creation — developed collaborative sessions where students explore a variety of style guides and their application—through samples of journalistic and non-journalistic writing. Sharing examples and discussing their preferences, students negotiate a shared (hybrid) style guide of their own. Used by school newspaper and year book production teams.
