LAKELAND CATHOLIC SCHOOLS is pleased to announce the appointment of Michelle Dargis to the Instructional Coach/Curriculum Coordinator position.
Michelle attended the University of Alberta where she received a combined B.ED and Early Childhood Diploma. Michelle’s love for teaching young children kept her in the kindergarten setting until December of 2001 at which time she joined the Lakeland Catholic family.
Michelle accepted a new challenge of Classroom Support Teacher at Ecole Dr. Bernard Brosseau. Serving “at risk” students and taking on the odd teaching assignment, Michelle honed her skills in the field of Special Education, Gifted Education, Differentiated Instruction and Assessment for Learning. She also developed a strong appreciation for teaching in students in the middle years.
Michelle was accepted into the two-year Leadership Academy Program. She developed a district-wide professional development program for student assistants that provided them with methods to differentiate instruction for their students.
Missing an elementary school setting, Michelle transferred to Notre Dame Elementary two years ago. In addition to working as a CST at the school, she was seconded to work in the area of Assistive Technology at the District level. She was also highly involved with the new preschool program at Notre Dame Elementary this year.
Michelle is looking forward to serving the students and staff of Lakeland Catholic Schools in her new role as Instructional Coach/Curriculum Coordinator where she will lead both the Assistive Technology and Early Learning Initiatives.
Congratulations Michelle on your new role as Instructional Coach/Curriculum Coordinator. We look forward to the support you will provide to all teachers in our District.
