My name is Sam Bruzzese and I am the principal of Clearpoint Elementary School in Pointe-Claire, Quebec. I have also worked at the Ministry of Education with the Quebec English Schools Network. Before becoming an administrator I was the computer consultant for the Lester B. Pearson and Baldwin-Cartier School Boards.
I lecture at McGill University in the Faculty of Education. This semester I am teaching the Integrating Educational Technology in the Classroom course. I have created and introduced graduate level courses for teachers and administrators (Managing Education Resources (EDEM628). Other courses I’ve taught include: Computers As Mindtools, Introduction to Computers in Education, The Internet for Teachers, and Microworlds.
I am a member of the LCEEQ (Leadership Committee for English Education in Québec) at the Ministry of Education. I love kids and schools. I think that learning in our schools should be project based and child-centered. I believe that a constructivist approach to learning should be our primary focus. I believe in whole language, the NCTM math standards, and the new Quebec curriculum.
