Hello, my name is Madison Dry.
I am an educator who believes that students learn best in an environment where they feel seen, valued, and challenged. My goal is to foster a classroom that is inclusive, supportive, and engaging—one where every student has a voice and the opportunity to grow. Through thought-provoking lessons, projects, and assessments, I aim to inspire critical thinking and a lifelong love of learning.
This portfolio showcases my teaching philosophy, professional development, professional goals, projects and artifacts, and reflections on my journey as an educator. Thank you for visiting—I invite you to explore my work and insights into my teaching practice.
Meet the Educator
Hello, my name is Madison Dry, and I am a student teacher at the University of Lethbridge, pursuing a combined Bachelor of Arts in Humanities and a Bachelor of Education. From a young age, I felt called to the teaching profession, and I am deeply committed to fostering a love of literacy, creativity, and critical thinking in my students. As a published children's book author, I have a strong admiration for the power of storytelling and hope to inspire my students to explore their voices through literature and writing.
Beyond education, I take immense pride in being a mother—a role that has enhanced my ability to nurture, guide, and support the growth of others with patience and empathy. My passion for learning extends far beyond the classroom; I have a deep curiosity for history, particularly Ancient Greece and Egypt, and I enjoy exploring how the past informs our understanding of the present. My travels to Thailand have broadened my perspective on culture and education, and I hope to continue exploring the world, immersing myself in the rich histories of ancient civilizations.
At my core, I am a lifelong learner, eager to share my enthusiasm for knowledge, curiosity, and storytelling with my future students. I believe education is more than simply acquiring knowledge—it is about fostering a love of learning, encouraging critical thinking, and helping students forge meaningful connections between literature, history, and their lives.
