I’ve only had Ms. Madsen for 3 classes; grade 8 English and Socials, and then now, grade 11 English. It was her first year when I was in grade 8 and although I haven’t had her every single year, I’ve noticed the large impact that she’s had on the student body as well as the staff. She brings a different vibe to the table which is a good change from the standard way of teaching which many students appreciate. My main reason is the fact that she taught in North Van then moved here to a small town. I’m interested in her experience and opinions on students surrounded with different learning environments and I feel that she is a valuable subject for this topic.
