CompetencED
ABOUT
Stephanie Dodier has over a decade of experience teaching secondary science (IB & MYP) and in higher education as a teacher educator. She is passionate about science education, but most importantly she helps other educators improve their practice and become the best version of themselves.
She promotes hands-on, experiential, inquiry-based approaches and supports green initiatives. Her knowledge in the field of neuroscience, the science of learning, and best implementation practices for meaningful change is a considerable asset.
Stephanie also has a master degree in education (curriculum and development). Her research mainly focused on teacher candidates embracing new approaches of teaching and the competency-driven curriculum in BC. Most importantly, she hopes that her passion for education transpires in the way she raises her two daughters.
