Background

About Paula Roberts

I am an experienced and qualified educator with the DDSB. I have experience in Primary, Junior and Intermediate grades and I have had opportunities to participate in Kindergarten Professional Development as well. I have been classroom teacher, division chairperson, and most recently a K-6 Literacy/Numeracy Coach with Student Achievement & Curriculum. My teaching and learning experiences I have developed my leadership skills through constantly improving, refining and reflecting on my practice and helping to move other teachers forward. I aspire to "walk to talk" and be actively involved in the school community. I am honest, confident, and committed to improving student achievement, inspiring others to be their best and empowering them to make a difference. I have a positive outlook on student learning, communicating with parents and making sure I have done everything I can to engage and support the students, parents, families and communities. I believe that all students are capable, curious, and confident. It is up to us as educators to make sure all students reach their potential. Equity is "fairness is not sameness". We need to differentiate for students and for our teachers, meeting them where they are, at their point of need and moving them forward. Leadership for me is not a destination but a journey. moving myself forward and empowering others to do the same. in turn, building a dynamic team that works together for the good of the community.
