About Kate Hassey

I\'m a humanities educator and I personally love to teach because I get energy from learning alongside brilliant young people, from imagining what might be if we allow and prepare these young people to lead, and from reveling in the moments of joy sprinkled in between. I have experience working with learners from Grades 6-12 and, in the classroom, I prioritize inquiry and constructivism, social and emotional learning, and inclusive and differentiated practices that meet the needs of all learners.
