Marie-Josee Fortier

Originaire du Saguenay au Québec, Marie-Josée gravite dans les domaines de la communication et de l’animation depuis de nombreuses années. Ses expériences de travail en ces domaines sont variées et originales, qu’il s’agisse d’animatrice de soirées, de pigiste pour une revue pour jeunes adolescentes ou de clown. Dans sa jeune vingtaine, après trois ans d’études, elle a été diplômée en art et technologie des médias, option presse écrite. Son parcours l’a ensuite menée en enseignement primaire et préscolaire. Elle poursuit présentement ses études à la maîtrise en enseignement; spécialisation littératie, numératie et curriculum. Depuis plus de quinze ans, Marie-Josée enseigne au sein du Conseil scolaire FrancoSud. Consciente que les apprentissages par le jeu augmentent la motivation de ses élèves et soucieuse d’améliorer leurs compétences langagières à l’oral et à l’écrit, elle a conçu des ateliers ciblant le développement de ces aspects dans sa classe.
