The Cheat Sheet

Hi there! We're two Canadian teachers who love developing classroom resources! We are both full time high school teachers in Ontario and have also previously taught overseas at Canadian international schools in China and Malaysia. At our previous school, Jason was the Department Head for Social Studies, while Brittany was the Department Head for English. Outside of the classroom, Jason has developed curriculum for the Critical Thinking Consortium and Brittany was a Curriculum Developer for her former international school.

As teachers, we try to inspire our students to become critical thinkers both inside and outside of the classroom. Using material that is relevant to their lives, we push students to question, inquire, create and debate within the classroom so that they may apply these skills to the ever-changing and challenging world around them. Group activities, student-centered and project-based learning, simulations, TEd talk debates, visuals and videos are some of our go-to teaching tools.

Aside from teaching, we love to travel. Especially to places that don't make the typical bucket list! We learn the most while traveling and see so much potential in experiential learning.
