About me
"Laura was born and raised in the Kootenays and currently lives in Rossland, BC on the unceded tmxʷúlaʔxʷ and traditional territories of the Sinixt peoples. Lands and Waters that were also cared for by the Syilx, Secwépemc and Ktunaxa Peoples. She is a teacher in the Kootenay Columbia School District with over 13 years of experience. Laura is the Vice President of the EEPSA, CBEEN and has recently begun instructing for the West Kootenay Teacher Education Program through UBC.
Laura is passionate about ecological and social justice education. She believes that teaching outdoors breaks down barriers and naturally allows for a more holistic pedagogy to emerge. Her practice centers the Land as the best teacher and the concept that we need to foster relationships with the more-than-human throughout a child’s developmental journey so that we can ensure they stay accountable to those relationships."
