From his first years at Central Technical School in Toronto to his more recent opening up a “new” 21st century school in Peel District School Board as Head of Science at David Suzuki Secondary School, Clayton Ellis loves to engage his students and make them excited about learning. Technology has been a primary avenue that he has used as a part of his teaching arsenal. Clayton has been involved with a number of Virtual Education programs including the Peel DSB’s Virtual school, Toronto DSB’s Virtual school and Elearning Ontario. This naturally transitioned into a system instructional resource teacher supporting other educators who wish to integrate 21st Century teaching and learning into their class ecosystem. After a short stint as a cross-curricular head of instructional technology at Heart Lake, Clayton opened another school, as the Science Curriculum Leader. As an author, Ministry of Education trainer, STAO committee member, coach, conductor, teacher and proud father, I currently enjoy this amazing profession and look forward to many more incredible years of living and learning.
