Reforming Education

Watch this video by Sir Ken Robinson.  He is a well known education thinker.  I really like and agree with a lot of what he says about education today.  I hope that your child has an excellent year with me as I hope to give your child the chance to really think, enjoy, create, and be inspired to learn.

About Me

My photo
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Born and raised in the "City of Champions", I Michael Lastiwka am the proud husband to Lana, father to Ruby 9, and Jack 11. I love hockey, music, the outdoors, golf, and pretty much anything that gets me outside. I play guitar with Uptown, a cover band. Check out our tunes at www.uptown780.com. I am in my 20th! year of teaching with Edmonton Public Schools, 3rd year at Hardisty, 8 previously at Bisset in Mill Woods, and 9 at Patricia Heights School in West Edmonton. I grew up in Edmonton, have lived in many parts of the city including Northmount, Blue Quill, Riverdale, downtown, Terra Losa, Terwilligar Towne, and finally Fulton Place. Life unfolds in front of us each day and we need to grab on and make the most of it. I'm passionate about teaching and believe my students can accomplish anything they put their minds to.
