Developing
for curious minds
& collaborative environments
Below is a sample of the curriculum I’ve developed over the past 20+ years.

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.
