Marc Hodgkinson
I am currently a Grade 7 teacher at Sir Arthur Currie Public School in London, Ontario in the Thames Valley District School Board.
I have been an educator for 26 years, working in all grades. I have always been passionate about music. I am an amateur saxophone and guitar player and I recently started learning the piano...very slowly. This began as an education blog, but I wanted to write weekly and didn't always have a topic. In January 2019, I discovered The 500 Podcast with Josh Adam Meyers and was hooked. I decided that I would write about each album on Rolling Stone Magazine's 2012 list...in order...starting at 500.
I completed my Bachelor of Arts in 1992 at the University of Western Ontario. My Bachelor of Education was completed in 1996 at Lakehead University (Thunder Bay). My Master's Degree was completed in 2011.

Hello.
This is a student project team from Korea University and Yonsei University.
We would like to ask if we can have a chance to interview your experience in ‘Teacher Learning and Leadership Program’ (TLLP) as part of our project.
Our project aims to experience the teacher learning community culture in Ontario, Canada, especially the operation of Collaborative Learning Community (CLC). All five members of our team are planning to pursue a career as professional teachers in secondary school in near future.
Our team is very interested in the Teacher Learning Community, as it is one of different ways to improve expertise of Korean educators. The cooperation and support within the community allows teachers to provide students with better education. Therefore, we are currently looking for model examples in foreign countries and institutions that have successfully operated teacher learning community. The visit and interview would greatly inspire us to think of how they can be applied to the Korean education.
In our visit, we look forward to interviewing on project ‘TLLP’ including its past and present operations as well as feedbacks on possible improvements.
Please let us know if group visits and interviews are available, and when is a good time for the visit. Our team plans to visit Canada around mid-August.
Please ask if you have questions regarding our project or other detail.
Sincerely yours,
University Project Team from Korea
