Jane Russell Valezy EAL Specialist, Grade 2 & Grade 8 Room A115 & Room B231
Hello and welcome! Allow me to introduce myself.
I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and emigrated to Canada at the age of 14. I am married to a bilingual Hungarian-Canadian and have two bilingual daughters and one non-lingual dog. As a family, we love to travel, play outdoors, and be creative.
I began teaching EAL in 1998 and have taught in Canada, Japan, Germany, and Hungary. I have a Master of Arts in Education (Curriculum, Teaching and Learning) Specialized in Second Language Education from the University of Toronto.
As a parent of bilingual children who has taught in the field of second language education for the past 18 years or so, I am dedicated to supporting your children in their English language development so that they can be successful in their academic and social lives at AISB.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child's English language development, please do not hesitate to contact me.
