About me
My name is Jess O'Hanley and I have been living and teaching internationally for the past 10 years. I was most recently a grade 5 teacher at the Canadian Academy, in Kobe, Japan, a fully accredited PYP school. I teach children from all around the world with a vast amount of knowledge and perspectives. I love facilitating authentic provocations that inspire students to take action personally, locally and globally. I also have a passion teaching inquiry based math and incorporating as much digital learning into my classroom as possible. I am nearly completed (Spring 2020) working on a master's degree in educational technology through the University of British Columbia (UBCMET)!
I am currently on a short term leave from the teaching profession, because how often in your life do you have the opportunity to stop and smell the roses? This year I am living life the the fullest by spending copious amounts of time with my family (in PEI Canada), reading books, making art, re-connecting with friends, walking my dog and traveling to new places around the world. The time off is wonderful (#adultgapyear), but I do look forward to returning to teaching next year.

My Passions
|
Besides teaching, I live life as an expat to the fullest. I have travelled to almost 50 countries and have lived in 5, including Canada, Japan, China, Australia and Kenya. I love exploring new places, meeting locals and diving into traditional foods. In my spare time, I love adventuring around, photographing my adventures, creating digital art, cooking, reading, watching documentaries, and playing with animals, big and small. I also love spending my free time in the summer months with my family back home in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
My GoalsI want to live internationally for as long as possible. I want to continue meeting amazing students from all around the world. I want to see students taking action and become empathetic, global citizens. I want to always work in a collaborative community where I am motivated to learn and grow professionally.
