Adrienne Stubbings
35m · PublishedAdrienne may have taken a straight line route to teaching but her experiences in the school of life has left her with wisdom and compassion for the well-being of her students. By getting out to just about every continent in the world, Adrienne brings a perspective on life here in lower mainland BC that comes when you "walk a mile" in someone else's shoes.
I really like her philosophy on education. Relationships first, followed by a healthy dose of relatability, served with a heaping scoop of reality. Ms. Stubbings doesn't just teach her students about what it will be like in the real world, because she knows that this IS their real world. It's that sort of teaching that is the reason Adrienne has such an impact on the school. She's travelled to a lot of places, but I, for one, am glad she travelled to Walnut Grove.
Jenny Kim
37m · PublishedIf you haven't heard her story, then I think you will notice that she is naturally gifted academically, has a playful, fun side that needs to be expressed and exudes a humility that is too admirable. Jenny is one of the newer teachers at Walnut Grove but has made a lasting impression by her contributions both scholastically, teaching AP Chemistry, and socially. If you see the artistic Periodic table being assembled in the science hallway...that's Jenny. If you played golf in the library...that's Jenny. If you see this smiling, bundle of energy with blinged out fingernails and wearing Uggs...that's Jenny!
Sam McGough
43m · PublishedYet as much as it is different, the fact is that some of the greatest minds and some of the greatest universities are British. So there must be something to that! But listening to Sam's story sheds some light on the effect of such a system on an individual. And it does have lasting repercussions.
But now as a Walnut Grove science teacher, Mrs. McGough is thriving and enjoying the educational freedom that the Canadian system allows. This is a story of resilience, overcoming adversity and thriving regardless of the circumstances. You are privileged to have this fine lady as your teacher. Glad you made it to Canada, Mrs. McGough!
