What the Family Studies?

Welcome to our What the Family Studies? podcast, here to help family studies educators create engaging and valuable learning experiences for their students that will last a lifetime. We will interview those who are passionate about family studies education. Some weeks we will interview a current teacher or professional working in the field who will share their real experiences, insights, and strategies for successful delivery of family studies curriculum. We also want to focus some of our time on your wellness. The last couple of years have been so stressful and your wellness is so important. While we are based in Ontario, we are sure that our podcast will prove helpful and entertaining to teachers in other places too.

WE. ARE. FAMILY: Add the Learning Commons to the Family (Studies) tree!

February 22, 2023 • OFSHEEA • Season 1 • Episode 10

In our 10th episode of What the Family Studies? we meet Amanda Freeman. Amanda joined the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board in September of 2022 as the Manager of the System Learning Commons. Prior to joining the Board, she spent many years working in public libraries. As the manager of the system learning commons Amanda’s goal is to continue to nurture a love of reading in our community and to spark joy in our library spaces. During this episode, we discuss how we as Family Studies teachers can work alongside our school's teacher librarians to help our students develop their research and inquiry skills, learn more about integrating technology in our classrooms and talk about how we can create a more inclusive and safe learning environment.
