Can't 2 Can Learning is lead by our Program Director, Alithia D'Souza. Ms. D'Souza is an experienced Kindergarten teacher that has been teaching in Toronto for more than a year and before that spent 3 years teaching abroad. She believes that the most important lesson she can teach kids is to keep a growth mindset. If you can't do something one day, it'll just take focus and work to get to "can". She uses can't boards, and activities to demonstrate to students how activities that are complex at first can be conquered with a few attempts and some guidance.
The facility is a house across the street from Bruce Public School. The facility and all the amenities are new. There are openings for July 1st.
“I have had the pleasure of working with her closely as we appointed her Kindergarten teacher lead. She had a strong ability to lead people and understanding what needs to be done to ultimately affect student achievement.”- Principal Ron Hodkinson
“Ms D’Souza’s classroom is a model classroom under the Emergent Curiculum in an Ontario education setting. Her work in inquiry-based learning was exemplary and her students responded extremely well.”
“She has developed a balance of inquiry and small group instruction to provide students with truly differentiated instruction.”
“She has a desire to develop her pedagogical knowledge along with great energy and enthusiasm.” -Ms Whitney Gilbert, Vice Principal
“Alithia excels at engaging parents in their child’s learning and welcomes parent communication.”
“The structures that she uses are current and effective. Her focus on student well-being and improved student achievement provide an equitable and inclusive classroom experience for all her students.” – Principal John Briggs
“I am writing to let you know how very pleased I am with the education and treatment, which my son, Hassan is receiving at school and in particular, by his teacher Miss Alithia. Before school was starting, I was very anxious about this new step in his life. He is quite a sensitive child and very reserved when socializing and interacting with new people. I was really hoping he would be with someone who is sensitive and understanding of the different personalities children can have. Someone that understands not all children are the same and that all children learn in different ways. I feel that Miss Alithia has looked after Hassan in a way that is suitable for him, and now Hassan is very fond of her. Something Hassan;s own relatives have even struggled with! – Parents of Hassan
