Hey Friends!
Hey Friends!
My name is Beth Sampson, and I am a teacher in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, where I have lived since beginning my teaching career in 2008.
I am a non-Inuk settler (originally from rural Cape Breton) living in Inuit Nunangat. I work in the public service for Inuit youth, and live in an Inuit community. As such, my professional journey and growth as an educator has been inseparable from my personal journey of constantly striving to learn more about the place I live, and about
Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (Inuit traditional knowledge/worldview)
from my students, friends, elders, colleagues, community, and mentors.
I am thankful for the kindness, patience, and grace I am shown daily on this learning journey.
Nunavut, and issues facing Nunavummiut are the lenses through which I view my learning and work in education.
I am aware I owe far more to my community than I can ever repay, and the concepts of reciprocity and allyship
are central considerations in my work.
I am currently enrolled as a graduate student at Cape Breton University, in the MEd SCI program.
(Master of Education in Sustainability, Creativity and Innovation)
This website was born as a place to expand on some of the work I created for my "academic" site: https://www.bethsampsoneducation.com/
in different ways that are important to me as an educator & a human.
Quanaqutin for joining me.
You are important, and I am so happy you're here!
This webcomic by XKCD perfectly sums up my feelings on education & life in general. I keep a copy of it next to my desk as a daily reminder that I have the opportunity (and the responsibility) to create the world I want to live in; it starts with me. Fellow teachers (and students!) - we're the grown-ups now, and it's our turn to decide what that means.
I know what that means for me in my classroom and in my person; quana for joining me in my exploratory adventures as I try to figure out what I think the world of online education & research could even look like in a way that makes sense to me. Let's get messy and make mistakes!
This website contains only part of my work for my MEd SCI program, which has now branched out into the three websites and three social media platforms you see above. While I have created six different primary resources in total for this work, if you choose to visit and engage with all six of them, you will find:
they each have a different tone, focus, depth of treatment, and many different resources I have curated or created BUT...
there are many interconnections between all six resources, as they are intended to represent six differentiated access points to the same body of knowledge I am building as I move through this work & build my skills & knowledge.
The digital business card I designed above is meant to easily link you to all of them. :)
