We have a great opportunity to redefine and claim the full expression of what educating means in this time of immense change so that we can create a world which is life giving and life sustaining in each moment. Do you believe that education has the power to create and carve out culture? Are you curious about the more that educating might become? If you wonder what else is possible, then this conversation is for YOU! Let’s Connect and Engage.

Quantum Educational Services
When you think of your child’s educational experiences, do you feel:
- Challenged by, confused by, or concerned about them?
- Frustrated by the need to create change in your child’s education and the difficulty in knowing where to start?
Would you like to feel:
- Better able to deal with all those who have an impact on your child’s education?
- That your child is thriving rather than struggling as he or she learns?
Children should be inspired to know themselves as life-long learners. Children’s educational experiences develop their thinking skills and lay the foundation for their engagement with life.
Parents have the right to ensure that the educational system is meeting the needs of their children. They may need assistance from educational consultants as they manage the many competing priorities in their child’s education and as they seek to optimize their child’s personal growth, self-esteem, and talent development in our rapidly changing world. Yet, parents can often feel overwhelmed when dealing with all facets of the educational system. Educational consultants can help them deal with the complexity of that system at all levels. Quantum Educational Services can provide this support.
Connecting and Engaging
A paradigm Shift in Thinking About Educating
Consider the importance of being a teacher – of being a significant adult in a student’s life. Consider the impact teachers have on each student and, through that, on themselves. Consider the beliefs, values and attitudes that we bring to teaching – not only from our experience of being a teacher but from our personal experience as students in the presence of teachers. Consider teaching and learning as intertwined processes where the focus of our attention is always intended to be the student not the content covered nor the assessments administered. Consider ways of doing things mindfully and, to be certain, differently – ways that will impact teachers, students, and, ultimately the nature of the teaching profession. Consider the impact this can have on our world.
For teachers and for those considering teaching as a life expression, this WEL-Systems® based conversation will be facilitated by Jean Winter, a highly experienced educator, whose passion resides in the potential of what teachers and students can co-create. Connecting and Engaging is fueled by the belief that questions ARE the answer. What are the questions that we are not asking ourSelves which would propel us forward into whom we can become as teachers?
Jean goes out of her way
She is a very gentle and open-minded person, who doesn’t judge anybody, but always looks through diversity and adversity to see a student who can succeed with help.
Jean doesn’t just help students with their academics, but she also addresses their underlying low self-esteem through her patience, wisdom and great sense of humour.
