Brief Teacher Bio.

Stephanie Cunningham
B.A., B.Ed.



Education & Teaching Experience:  

In 2011, I graduated from the University of British Columbia where I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree. I also attended Queen's University, in Ontario. During this time, I studied English Literature and History.   
  • This combination of studies has impacted my perspective on teaching and influenced a more humanities approach to my courses. I tend to weave stories into the Social Studies curriculum and focus on thematic links between units for English.  

In 2011, I began my practicum in India (Chauntra, Himachal Pradesh) where I taught at the Sambhota Tibetan School. In 2012, I finished my extended practicum in British Columbia (SDSS) and completed my course work from Simon Fraser University. 
  • Professional Development Program, Simon Fraser University, 2011-2012 
  • International Teaching Education Module (ITEM India), 2011 
  • B.Ed. with a Curriculum Development Minor, 2012

From 2012-2014 I worked as Teacher-Librarian and Sr. Social Studies Teacher at Southpointe Academy. 

Then, from 2014-2016 I was a private tutor, along with helping international students at Langara College with their transition to the Canadian Education system. 

In 2015 I began working for the Langley School District, and I have a continuing contract where I work happily at Langley Secondary School. 


International Teaching:  Highlights from India 

"Education is much more than a matter of imparting the knowledge and skills by which narrow goals are achieved.  It is also about opening the child's eyes to the needs and rights of others."  -Dalai Lama
