Taranjeet Dhaliwal

COMMUNITY SUPPORT WORKER PROGRAM

For the past twenty-five years Taranjeet has been working and teaching in the developmental/intellectual disabilities field, where she has been focusing on “community living” and “community inclusion” components of this diverse field. Learning is at the heart of all teaching, and Taranjeet has espoused this philosophy in her own personal and professional life. She is the lead instructor for the Community Support Worker Program and enhances the curriculum in it’s true living form for student centre learning environment. She utilizes her Master of Education degree in Imaginative Education, to engage students to be proactive learners in their own educational journey. Scaffolding is essential element in learning and teaching; students first learn this methodology in the classroom and then use these concepts out in the field to make change in the lives of people they will support.

Additionally, Taranjeet is the internal instructor for FoodSafe, First Aid, and Mandt training. She is a steadfast learner and continues to actively seek new ideas and knowledge in the ever-evolving field of CSW, thus students will receive current information.

Success Story

Program: ESL / HCADrake Medox College helped me to achieve my main goal – to become a Healthcare Assistant. They helped me also to become more confident in aspects of speaking and understanding. The ESL-HCA Program at Drake Medox College is the best study program I’ve been to. My Instructors were very supportive.My first impression of the ESL Program was “same old basic English again,” but I was wrong. I thought I didn’t need it because I can speak English. The ESL classes helped me to know how to pronounce properly, use proper grammar and even to create a formal paragraph. The important thing that the ESL Program did for me is to boost my confidence and to mold me into “a chocolate diamond” as Ate Myrine always says. The ESL-HCA Program is worth it and I enjoyed every class I attended.In several months I developed as an open-minded person, a knowledgeable student, a passionate Healthcare practitioner and a fluent user of the English language. As I move toward my new career, the ESL Program contributed a big part to my future work because I have learned how to be a good listener, a good reader and a good communicator.Indeed, I have become “ a diamond.” I am very thankful to Drake Medox College and my supportive Instructors for helping me along the way!
