About The Beaming Teacher - The Beaming Teacher

Meet Carly, The Beaming Teacher

Hi!! My name is Carly, and I am the creator behind the TpT store the Beaming Teacher. I am a sports playing and spin class addict who takes any chance she can to be outside and spend time with her family. I can often be seen with my coffee in hand, running shoes on, my spunky 10 year old daughter and Bernese pup at my sides, ready to tackle any adventure.

My School Life

I live in beautiful BC, Canada and am an energetic French and Physical Education teacher. I have spent most of my teaching career in the middle school classroom (close to 20 years, wow! How is that even possible?) and prior to that in elementary. Throughout my career I have taught almost all of the grades and a variety of subjects including being a part of the special education resource team. More recently I have had the opportunity to become part of our district’s curriculum department as the French support teacher where I had the privilege of working with many amazing, dedicated and passionate educators which then led to my current role as District French Coordinator.

My Passion for Language

I am passionate about creating engaging resources to help students see that learning a language can in fact be fun! I love creating no prep ways to empower students and make teacher lives easier. On this blog I will share my tips and tricks for teaching middle school and resources that have worked for me in the classroom. Learning a second language is not always every students’ favourite subject, but I have tried my best to come up with ways to reach those learners, give them voice and help them beam!

Coaching

In addition to my teaching life, I also spend a lot of time coaching. Here’s a photo of me on the court.

Outside of school hours...

We are a busy family, and whenever we have time, we are out in nature. The photos to the left are of one of our hiking trips with our Bernese mountain dog. The other photo below is a recent photo from one our trips to the beach.
