Kelly's Bio


My name is Kelly Ryan and I am a new pedagogical consultant for Adult education. I have been working for NFSB since 1995 and have 16 years of teaching experience in the youth sector as an English generalist, and later as a resource specialist and technology instructor. For the last two years I have been working at the school board, in complementary services, as a consultant supporting students with special needs in both elementary and high school.

I am fortunate enough to also work part-time for Champlain College continuing education department as an evening instructor and as a content specialist for R.A.C. early childhood education, which has allowed me to gain experience working with and teaching adults in a variety of settings.

My role as pedagogical consultant will be:

• ·      To share information and directives from the MELS with centre directors and staff.
• ·      To assist in the G.R.A.D.E. reading assessment of new students as outlined in the school board’s M.E.S.A..
• ·      To support teachers and instructors in both the FG and FP programs in a collaborative manner.         

Support could mean but is not restricted to:

• ·      Sharing new resources and best practices during team meetings.
• ·      Help developing classroom lessons using a differentiated approach.
• ·      Searching for materials or resources to complement a unit of study.
• ·      Working with resource teachers, technicians and attendants in different capacities.
• ·      Facilitating or organizing workshops.

Please feel free to make suggestions as to how we can support each other in creating an enriching experience for our students, while ensuring success for all. 

Looking forward to working collegially with the NFSB adult education team!
