Welcome to Mrs. Quilley's Classroom

I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta.  After high school, I left for a few years to go to a post-secondary school in Kingston, Ontario; however, the mountains were calling me back, so soon after graduation, I returned to Calgary.  My previous career was in computer programming where I would program the control systems for various oil and gas companies. After I had my first child, I decided I wanted to go back to school for Criminology and then Education (as you can see I’m a lifelong learner). I've recently finished pursuing my Masters of Education specializing in Mathematics, at Western Univ. 

​

I'm an educator who believes student-centred classrooms based on collaborative inquiry, project-based learning, involving technology and critical thinking is imperative.  In the classroom we explore mathematics through nature, coding, and the Engineering Design Process.

​

When I’m not teaching, I’m in the mountains enjoying the outdoor life.  I have always enjoyed mountain biking, hiking, cross-country skiing.  This year I decided to try bike packing and I’m absolutely loving it!
