Bio:  Dr. Natalie Suepaul has been an educator for the past 31 years. She has spent most of her years working at the infant level in the primary school sector. She has earned her B.Ed. in ECCE, her M.Ed. in Curriculum Studies and her PhD which focuses on ICT integration in curriculum delivery in early childhood classrooms. She has engaged in research at the national level and has been exposed to training at the international level in the field of ECCE. She has mentored many young educators in the field of ECCE and stands firm in her belief that “Every child has the potential to succeed.” Dr. Suepaul is currently a Lecturer at the School of Education at The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus.

 

She works with students at the Certificate Level, the B.Ed. Level and at the M. Ed Level. She also serves as a member of The UWI- FDCRC Board where her role is to oversee teaching and learning. At the FDCRC she works closely with the teachers to guide and provide the necessary support to ensure that the 3+ and 4+ students are engaged in developmentally appropriate practices. Natalie also devotes time to community service as she is an active member of Thunderbirds Sports and Cultural Club in the Sangre Grande region – a club which continues to promote healthy lifestyles, community unity and serving others selflessly.

 

Dr. Suepaul’s passion resides in the integration of ICT for young children’s development and the promotion of literacy and numeracy skills in young learners. She has had opportunities to engage in and advocate for read aloud activities with children locally and internationally. It is her hope that in forging ahead during these unprecedented times, new initiatives will continue to be implemented which will allow individuals to become literate and develop the 21st century skills necessary for living in a technology-based global village.
