AURORA COLLEGE

Some of my best experiences with management have been at Aurora College. There are opportunities for educators to collaborate, share resources, provide input and take part in professional development opportunities. The workload is manageable and the working conditions and pay are definitely fair. I took the initiative to partner with other organizations, work on the early development of options for distance learning, organize practicum placements and secure grants for additional programming.  All of this was supported and well received.  I had a lot of opportunity for professional growth in my role and it definitely stands out as one of the best teaching and working experiences.

-on-site housing, great work site, most students energetic and willing to learn
-as a teacher, you get back what you put out
-sometimes a new face, especially male can overwhelm with their power short term (in northern cultures)
-co-workers were supportive and energetic
-as an outsider, the hardest part of the job was being accepted into the community
-another very difficult aspect of the job was that one of my students felt her sister should be in my position and she harassed me throughout the year; fortunately, she did not have a lot of influence on other students
-my favorite part of the job was the rate of advancement; some students started at a Grade 2 level and advanced to a Grade 9 level. 
-none of my students tested above a Grade 9 level, but most were ready to start the Teachers Education Program by the end of the year

I was a community adult educator for Aurora College.  I managed a community learning centre in a remote aboriginal community.  Management and colleagues were very approachable, encouraging and helpful.  As community adult educator, it was important to be an ambassador of the college, to be a role model. and set an example of appropriate behaviour.  It was very important to be accepted and to be involved in the community.

The workplace culture is terrible - you are made to feel as if you don't belong, if you come in with experience you are considered "competition or intimidating" so no one wants to work with you. No one asked or recognized what I can do to help. I was made to  feel undervalued and out of place/do not belong, and was forcefully nudged to quit on my own. This culture is passed on to students.


As an Adult Educator in a small community I performed many roles from administrative tasks, planning, testing, but above all  teaching adult basic education courses. I enjoyed my relationships with students who often had many struggles. Can be an isolating experience with little support, However, I had a positive overall experience.

I taught a group of people that would later be teachers in their communities. It was a great mutual-learning experience where I learned a lot about the Inuit culture, while at the same time help them learn computers.

it was quite a challenge given the cultural barriers, but it was one of my most rewarding experiences.

My typical day at the shop was cutting grass, maintaining properties, and watering lawns. My management was great and I got along with everyone very well. I was always excited to start my work day and never had complaints.
