Location Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
Introduction You can contact me on my school email at andrea.cooke@aramco.com I have recently moved to Saudi Arabia with my family: Bruce, my husband; Keegan, our ten year old; and Sebastian our seven year old. Although I loved teaching and living in Comox, BC, we are ready for an adventure and a change. We are fortunate that we will have the opportunity to travel with our children, and I am thrilled to be teaching so many students from such diverse backgrounds who all have interesting stories. I believe that teaching Language Arts is an important responsibility and gifts me with the opportunity to really get to know students through their writing, reading, and discussions. I think that one of my roles is to provide students with texts (literature, articles, and media) and writing tasks that enable students to make better sense of their world, their relationships, and themselves. Life is a journey.
