#12 Rebecca Chambers: Unlearning Journey and Social Change Makers

Rebecca Chambers is a  high school teacher in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Her goal as a teacher was to make a classroom a place where students could feel good about who they were, gain self-confidence and to know that she cared about them.  She also wanted to make it a place where students were engaged and could get out of their seats to learn the material.

She is the founder of RISE Academy, an online community connected school for the next generation of social change-makers. To learn more about Rebecca teaching philosophy, check out the CBC article done on her classroom in May 2018 How an Ottawa teacher is helping students unlearn learning.
