About Me

Hi, I am Kristina Dimini. I have a Bachelor of Education from the University of Regina. I would consider my self a lifelong learner who always enjoys a new challenge!

My teaching experience has primarily been in grades 3 to 5; I pre-interned in a grade 5 class at Dr. L.M. Hanna School in Regina, SK and interned in a grade 3/4 class at Pense School in Pense, SK. I am currently teaching in a grade 4 class at St. Maria Goretti School in Calgary, AB. From these experiences I have developed strong classroom management skills, various teaching strategies and a strong relationship with students, staff, and parents.  Through these relationships I was able to foster a respectful environment to manage student behaviour.

I believe in using various instructional strategies and a variety of settings in order to teach to the whole child. Using various instructional strategies such as experiential learning, indirect instruction, and independent study I am able to provide appropriate and varied learning opportunities for all students while recognizing different abilities.  I believe in creating an environment where every student is successful and has the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential.

One of my many interests is technology. I believe in using technology in a variety of ways to enhance my instruction whenever possible. Through the use of technology I am able to  foster interactive engagement, so students experience meaningful learning and intellectual development. My role as an educator is to promote student learning and critical thinking skills.

I am extremely passionate about being a healthy role model and promoting healthy activity to youth. I am a certified Fitness Instructor Specialist through CanFit Pro as well as a certified BTS Instructor. I am able to use the knowledge gained through my fitness certifications to assist and enhance with coaching, physical education and other co-curricular activities. My involvement in student related school activities was a very fulfilling and rewarding experience.

Whenever I have the chance I enjoy traveling. I have been to various places around the world. I can speak both Spanish and Portuguese and am in the process of learning Italian. Having the opportunity to travel has introduced me to many different cultures.

I am currently a member at St. Peter’s Parish in Calgary and am involved with the Youth Group. I believe in teaching as a shepherd of the Lord, believing that my students are the Light of the World. It is my job to help them Shine.

I look forward to continuing my teaching career, professional development and personal growth within your school.
