It’s Excellent Educators Day on myFM…brought to you by Lambton Heritage Museum.
Today we are profiling Crystal Brennan Yeo – Yeo is a teacher at Blessed Carlo Acutis online school in the Huron Perth Catholic District School Board.
An educator for almost twenty years – Yeo says she started thinking about teaching as a career – at a very young age.
Brennan Yeo says her desire to teach strengthened during secondary school. She was a camp counsellor, a Sunday school volunteer at St. Peter’s church then studied education and drama at the University of Windsor.
Yeo says her most favourite part of teaching is helping children learn the arts.
The pandemic threw Yeo a curve ball. She says learning the arts is a hands on experience and yet she has managed to succeed at it – with young children no less – in a virtual world.
Asked about what she would tell young people considering a career in education – Yeo says it would be follow your heart.
Brennan Yeo says choosing teaching as a vocation has shaped her into the person she is today.
