Karen Gates
Hello, and welcome to our webquest. My name is Karen Gates and I am currently a Resource teacher with the Halifax Regional School Board. This is my fourth year in this position and it's a change that I find very rewarding. Prior to taking a Resource position, I taught mostly at the upper elementary level - Grades 5 and 6. There are times that I miss having a classroom of my own, however, being able to work more closely with students on targetted areas of challenge, is a great way to begin and end each day!

My teaching career began more than 12 years ago at a private school in the United States where I taught grades Primary through 3rd grade. For the past 6 years I have been teaching grades 5 and 6 French Immersion with the Halifax Regional School Board. This year I decided to take on the challenge of another grade change. I am currently teaching grade 3 and for the first time grade 4. I am really enjoying working with younger students again as it has helped to rekindle my love for teaching.
