Richard Park is an alumnus of the life
sciences program at the University of
Toronto. Since graduating, he spent a
year teaching English at a middle school
in Korea and has returned to Canada to
pursue a Bachelor of Education at OISE.
His current enrolment in the Initial
Teacher Education Program (where
his teachable subjects are biology and
general science) has granted him the
opportunity to serve as a mentor to high
school students involved with the Global
Ideas Institute’s reinventing the toilet
challenge. This chance to guide students
in fostering their intellect and curiosity
through a global lens has helped Richard
further develop his personal pedagogy
and gain valuable experience working
with a diverse population of proactive
students. Richard is looking forward
to a fruitful career as a teacher in either
the Toronto or Peel district school board.
