Biography
Elizabeth Tingle has over ten years of teaching experience across all divisions in both Edmonton and Calgary, primarily in the disciplines of English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Health. In addition to teaching pre-service teachers as an instructor at Werklund, she also supports the work of Dr. Shelly Russell-Mayhew as the lab coordinator for the Body Image Research Lab. As a teacher educator, Elizabeth is interested in health promotion and health education in the school context from a weight-neutral perspective that also meaningfully takes into account teacher wellbeing. As an adult learning scholar, she is curious about leveraging the power of non-formal learning pedagogies in formal learning settings. She has been very involved in the creation, production, and co-hosting of two podcasts related to wellbeing in the school setting, namely the mini-series The Podclass: Conversations on School Health (a collaboration with Werklund and the national charity Ever Active Schools) and Teacher Fan Club.
