How can I improve teaching and learning around the Core Competencies, especially for students with learning challenges?
Hello! Nice to meet you.
I'm Julie Knevel, a Learning Support Teacher and Reading Interventionist in the beautiful central interior of British Columbia. I'm working toward a Professional Master of Education degree from Queens and concentrating on Literacy. My understanding of the intricacies of teaching and learning continue to grow through rigorous study and interactions with my colleagues. As an educator, I am passionate about using evidence-based practices for teaching reading as well as inclusion for those with learning challenges. As a grad student, I am most interested in the neurobiological processes involved with learning, implementation of school-wide literacy and SEL practices, and supporting diversity.

My husband and I have been together for 32 years, having met in our first week at University of New Brunswick. We're raising two amazing teenagers whose triumphs and struggles remind us daily that to
BE BRAVE, BE KIND, BE HONEST.
