Céline Paradis

Céline Paradis teaches her students at Polyvalente Jean-Dolbeau in Dolbeau, Quebec, not only the course content, but also how to approach a subject. She began using this technique when she noticed that students were having difficulty dealing with a new physics curriculum. Her approach helped students identify basic concepts so that they could tackle the material in a more organized way. Having proven her concept, Ms. Paradis has since gone on to write a textbook that can be used by students elsewhere.
