It’s done! I have uploaded my Masters Thesis. If you are curious you have three ways to check it out.

I completed in a 3-minute thesis competition. I have youtubed it here if you have a short attention span/time.

I also recorded a Grad Chat which is a 30-min summary – posted as a podcast and broadcast on the university radio station CFRC 101.9FM.

And here is the link to the whole document – around 120 pages with the appendix.

The list of people who helped me on this journey is long so I will go in chronological order and try not to miss anyone. I’d like to thank Barbara Arrowsmith-Young who inspired me to consider transformations for students with learning differences. Dr. Andrea Guerin and Dr. Garth Smith who met with me right off the bat and connected me with key players. Thanks to Dr. Stephen Scott who didn’t delete an email about a project in education and instead dedicated time and resources to an idea outside of his area and interest. To Dr. John Kirby for taking on a student even in retirement; thanks for all your support, detailed editing, advice, stories, and conversation. To Dr. Kristy Timmons who stuck with me through ins and outs. To Dr. Ian Matheson who jumped in when needed and never made me feel like an ‘extra’. To Barbara Mendez and Susan Overvelde for being critical friends and sharing coffee. To all the teachers at Queen’s, whose classes I enjoyed and was challenged by without exception. To my colleagues at KCVI/KSS who put up with my yammering on about subjects at length which did not relate to the immediate fires needing to be put out. To my mom for being one of my editors. And to my immediate family who have put up with time at my computer, evenings out for classes and who were hardest hit on the listening to detailed yammering front. Thanks to all of you for being ears, supporters, critics, and friends. We did it!
