My name is Tracy Rosen. I have taught for the past 10 years - Kindergarten through Grade 11 and University (TA). I have always been concerned with the rights of all children people to learn and strongly believe that this can be achieved mainly through relationship-building.
I am currently a Learning Centre teacher and program developer at Howard S. Billings Regional High School in Chateauguay, Quebec, just south of Montreal. Am also about to return to school myself. See more about that here.
My areas of professional interest: organizational learning, emergent design, appreciative inquiry, relationship-based learning, differentiated instruction, jazz improv and learning
Things I find integral: discipline with dignity, emotionally intelligent teaching, communities of practice
Other things I do….
I like to paint. This was a gift for my cousin who turned 50 last month:
and this one was a gift for my friend for Christmas:
I also like to go for long walks with my dog in the morning. I live in an area of Montreal with a lot of green space, and my apartment building is right next to the St Lawrence River, which makes for glorious views in the morning.
Which brings me to my next pastime, photography! I received my first digital camera last year and have been clicking ever since. It is fun and lets me achieve a quick creative product at times when I have less patience for painting 
Here are a few of my morning photos…
Champlain Bridge, winter 2007

Thanks for your comment on my blog…thought I’d pay you a visit. Yours is really impressive, and eclectic (I’m still learning…). I’ll be back when I have more time…I think I can learn from you…
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I am just really starting to blog, so the feedback is very encouraging. I thought I would pop over and check out yours. We seem to have very similar beliefs! I put you in my feeder. See you on Twitter!
Impressive artwork Tracy! I knew you had a passion for photography and have always enjoyed seeing your nature photos and your art is an added dimension. And you are back to school as well…as I’ve said before, you are inspiring!
Sharen - thanks for dropping by! The problem with doing so many things is that it can be quite exhausting at times!
But you know what? I’ve found what I love to do and I am doing it - if it comes with some tired days, so be it!
