Julie Fader B.A., B.Ed.
Owner / Director |
Julie Fader, born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, is a certified teacher with over 30 years of experience. Her passion for understanding and supporting children's learning needs stems from her own early struggles with a learning disability and anxiety disorder. Diagnosed during high school, these challenges spurred Julie's lifelong journey into mindfulness and educational training to overcome learning obstacles.
Julie co-founded Head of the Class Education Centre in 2008 with her sister Heather Colomba, driven by a commitment to mindful learning and exceptional instruction. Her dedication is further reflected in her work with New ADDitudes Inc., a nonprofit she co-founded to support parents and educators of children with learning differences. Julie also achieved advanced training in Collaborative Problem Solving with Drs. Ross Greene and Stuart Ablon at Harvard University. Today, Julie's focus is on continuous professional development in pedagogy, learning differences, and growth mindset. She believes that children thrive in environments where they feel safe, their needs are met, and they receive unconditional positive regard from adults. |
