I graduated from Sheridan College, Ryerson Polytechnic University and Toronto Montessori Institute (TMI). My education has qualified me to teach Montessori students from 18 months to 12 years of age. I have completed a Management Course from the CCMA of which I was elected a member of the executive board for a few years and continue to be an active member. I also served as one of the PAC (Program Advisory Committee) members at Sheridan College and have been invited yearly to participate as one of the administrators in panel discussions. For the last few years, I have been asked to evaluate oral examinations and act as a student field advisor for TMI graduating students. I am also currently an active Consultant for Accreditation for the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators (CCMA).
After completing my Montessori training (AMI), I joined Northstar Montessori School as the Casa Directress. We started with a small group of students whose parents believed in the vision of the school and took a chance to enroll their child into a class with a newly graduated teacher and into a school that was still being built. I am forever grateful to those parents as they and their children helped me to become the educator that I am today. I have had many fulfilling years of watching students develop and become independent thinkers that explore with confidence and with a need “to know”. After teaching for 6 years, I was promoted to the position of Vice Principal. I am proud to be a part of Northstar Montessori Private School as it truly promotes the development of the whole child and is interested in seeing each child succeed. As the Vice Principal, I have a deeper commitment to staff, parents, and students to see that their needs, concerns, and questions are always addressed and that we are providing a true Montessori experience. As a mother of 3, I have a deeper commitment to ensuring that there is a place where children can grow, be respected, and be safe.
I have been teaching at Northstar Montessori School since the year 2000 and continue to value each new experience and challenge as they arise. I am also the Elementary Supervisor and I am privileged to be surrounded by such a supportive and compassionate team here at Northstar. “The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities.”
I graduated from Ryerson University in Graphic Communications Management, comprised of Business and Advertising in the Marketing Media. I like to stay active because I enjoy all kinds of sports. I try to give 100% of my effort and I hope to inspire students to do the same no matter what skill level they are. I was also very involved in coaching team sports and participated in many extra-curricular activities (squash, badminton, karate, wrestling, basketball and volleyball).
My name is Rose Sta. Ana (pronounce Santa Ana). I graduated from George Brown College. I started working at Northstar Montessori in 2007. I have a daughter who is attending the PreCasa Program. I am here at Northstar because I enjoy and love working with students of all ages. I especially enjoy seeing them develop academically and socially throughout the school year. Northstar has pleasant staff members and administrators who are very helpful, supportive, and friendly.
I am originally from St. Lucia and came to Canada with my wife and two daughters to start my own maintenance business. It was in September of 2009 when I joined Northstar Montessori Private School and I feel like part of a family. I am blessed to be part of a friendly group of teachers who really take time to work with the students. I not only help maintain the school environment but also provide the shuttle bus transportation for Northstar. I look forward to working with Northstar for a long time! |
