NUMERACY TEAM LEAD

I have been teaching mathematics and computer science at the Toronto District School Board for 17 years. In that time, I have been a department head, a multi-sport coach, a digital lead learner, piloted an AI project in collaboration with INTEL, presented at many conferences and earned my masters in Educational Leadership. I was also a Juno nominated touring musician and built a recording studio at my school. I still do math contests for fun. I am beyond excited to be joining FNSB, and bringing my family to the Yukon.

NUMERACY COACH

My name is Tracy Klein and I’m excited to be working this year as a Numeracy Coach with the First Nation School Board. I grew up in a small community in the West Kootenays, called Edgewood B.C.  I come from mixed Canadian decent, including Sinixt First Nations through my Grandmothers ancestry, belonging to the Colville Indian Reservation near the Lower Arrow Lakes, B.C. ​

I moved to the Yukon in 1998 and have created a beautiful life filled with outdoor adventures, supportive relationships, and family values with my 3 amazing children. I have always aspired to be a teacher and look forward to delivering culturally inclusive programs and incorporating First Nations ways of knowing and doing into daily classroom practices.  My teaching experiences include being a Teacher on Call, teaching Kindergarten in Carmacks, and other Primary grades in Whitehorse for 27 years. I continue to grow as an educator and have recently completed a Master of Education, in Curriculum and Instruction Innovations in Mathematics, from Simon Fraser University. I am honored to share my knowledge and meaningful experiences with others. I look forward to fostering positive relationships with local First Nations, through respectful communication and professional practices.
