About Us
This is my 5th PIDP course online for Vancouver Community College's (VCC) Provincial Instructor's Diploma (PID). I currently work as a nurse education at a community college.
 * **Jennifer Foster**

 My role as an educator is a new experience for me. As I moved from an expert in my area of employment to a novice, I felt it essential to have the tools to inspire and motivate. Enhancing my knowledge base and developing a strong understanding of motivational strategies will allow the best learning opportunities for my students.

 My focus for this Wiki has been Motivation for Instructors and Students. || **Clare Pepper** I live in Victoria, BC. My primary work background is in woodworking (I'm a journeyman cabinetmaker), but at the moment I'm taking care of my one year old daughter, running an organic gardening business with my partner, and teaching a series of workshops on sustainable urban living through a local nonprofit.

My job as a woodworker has always required doing a lot of on the job training of new employees or less advanced apprentices, but I haven't done much formal teaching, so this program has been hugely helpful for me.

 My work for this Wiki has focused on Diversity and Motivation as well as Learning Styles and Motivation. || //**Jody Mitchell**// I live in West Kelowna. I am married with three children, ages 10 1/2 years, 8 years and 6 ½ years old. I have been married for almost 13 years and have a wonderfully supportive husband when it comes to completing school.

 Currently, I am now a stay at home mom but previously I worked in a small office that allowed me to be able to go to university as well as work full-time so I can complete my life long dream. In regards to school, I graduated in 2000 with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. As well I have gained a Masters of Arts in Education through the University of Phoenix Online graduating in 2005. I am trying to get back into the workforce now that my children are all in school full time. The PID program will help me do that.

 My work for this Wiki has focused on Adult Learning and Motivation and Theories of Motivation. ||
