About

Dr. Sunaina Sharma was a secondary teacher for over 20 years and was an in-school program leader for a decade. She strives to put the learner’s needs at the forefront of all program planning, classroom teaching, and professional learning so that students are engaged in their learning. In order to enhance student engagement, she leans in to hear what students say and do in order to capture their voices. This allows her students to be active participants in the construction of the classroom while allowing her to use inquiry to inform her teaching practice.

Her classroom inquiries have led her to change how she uses technology for teaching, modify how students present to the class and reimagine the process in which students complete evaluations. She has presented at schools and districts as well as nationally and internationally. She is now an Assistant Professor in Brock University’s Bachelor of Education program where she is able to share her classroom experiences with future educators in an effort to inspire them to ask questions and inquire to find the answers.
