Learning For All
As we move into the 21st century and our technoligical revolution begins to take hold, change is coming fast to every aspect of our lives. Education must change and adapt as well. The great news is that these changes, if properly rolled out, will benifit educators, bring an equity lense to schools and benifit all students. We can help start this shift to a better way of learning in the 21st century.

Andrew Wheeler
Teaching is an art and because it is a usable art it is perhaps best referred to as a craft. The craft of teaching is as complex as it is individual to each educator.
Professional development with Andrew starts with first respecting the craft that each educator brings to the table. Then we can share and communicate some new ideas to do an even better job teaching students in the 21st century.
25 Years As An Educator
For over 2 decades Andrew has been working with the experiential model of learning. Andrew began his career working with young offenders and has since taught in schools from Northern Ontario to Nevada, Ottawa and West Quebec.
Andrew spent 5 years as a part time professor (seconded) at the Faculty of Education, University of Ottawa working to bring his knowledge of teaching to the next generation of educators.
Andrew has worked with the Ottawa-Carleton Board in the areas of gifted education, math and science.
Andrew has Master’s of Education from the University of Calgary with an emphasis on critical and creative thinking and gifted education.
A Move to the 21st Century Learning Model
The experiential, student-led model has always been a tremendously effective educational tool. Now with our technological revolution in full swing and providing an equity-based education for all so crucial, the experiential, student-led model and the shift to a 21st century learning model is more important than ever.
Teacher Training That Works
Andrew has worked with hundreds of adult learners as they work to improve and grow in their teaching craft.
As lead-learner in the room, he will not only inspire and motivate teachers to try new things and build onto their existing programs but will also set a tone of respect and appreciation for every educator present.
