Subject area expertise: I have been in education for over 25 years and have taught all grades kindergarten through to McGill University where I am now teaching. I lived overseas for over 10 years in both Africa and Asia and so am familiar with different cultures. My background is both in special needs and counseling as well as college counseling.

Skills & Interests: I have a real capacity to do presentations to inspire and teach, I did a number of presentations at the local schools and organizations while I was living in Zimbabwe. I also took a number of photographs of the children I worked with as well as the environment. I made concrete suggestions for the local teachers to implement and helped them to achieve the goals. Since I know a lot about special needs, I also gave presentations on this area.

If you have done work internationally, where and in what capacity?: While working and living overseas, I worked as an educator and administrator in three different international schools: as Director of Student Services, College advisor and Special Needs Coordinator. I was also in administrative roles.

If you are willing to volunteer, in what area(s):: curriculum development, mentor teaching, workshop facilitation

How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:: I have been involved in education and believe strongly that it is our future generation, world wide that we need to invest in so we prepare our world for what it needs, what our future generation needs and hope to contribute in ways to make it a better, safer, place for all.

I just met with a student from ed faculty over the weekend to discuss the creation of a McGill campus group. We should connect all the dots and see where your expertise fits in.
Let me know how I can reach you. I can be found at sharonpeters@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
