Nicole Burns has been a BC certified teacher since 2002 with a background in natural resources sciences.  She has been a climbing coach, a wildlife and forestry technician and the teacher at Gold Bridge Community School in Gold Bridge, BC  – a one room, multi-age K-7 program.  Nicole welcomes students, parents and community members into the classroom to form strong long-term relationships and a family-like dynamic where students can learn in a safe, comfortable and respectful environment.  She creates learning experiences that reflect students’ interests and passions.  Teaching in a remote, rural, one-room school taught her the importance of being creative, engaging, flexible, and resourceful.  As The Whole School’s Outdoor Leadership Program teacher, Nicole will bring her own passion for the natural environment and active lifestyle into her lessons when she takes the students out into our beautiful mountain community
