Kawaldeep Ghuman

Kawaldeep Ghuman started her teaching career at a private school before moving to the Maple Ridge School District in BC (SD42), where she began TTOCing in both elementary and secondary schools. During this time, she found herself drawn to ELL teaching, feeling a natural connection with the ELL students and families because she also speaks another language and has been in their shoes. For the past seven years, Kawaldeep has been working with English language learners and it remains her passion to this day.
