The Official FlatStanley Project
created by Dale Hubert
Dale Hubert, Creator and Facilitator of the Flat Stanley Project
I am
an elementary school teacher. I
taught Special Ed for eleven years, Grade 6 for five years and Grade
3 for
eight years. Prior to teaching I travelled
through Europe for a year and
a half and supported myself by
playing guitar
and banjo and
singing in the streets. Upon returning to
Canada I went back to the
University of Western Ontario and earned a teaching certificate and a
M.Ed.
I got involved with computers while inventing devices to help my special needs students and then taught myself web work to make the Flat Stanley Project. My latest venture has been with a partner and we created Running Records Companion, a computer program that does running records for reading assessment and stores the results. There's more information and a free download demo at the Running Records Companion website.
During 2003 - 2004
I travelled to Greece, Austria and
Hungary,
Mexico and Scotland as I enjoyed
my self-funded leave. In
January I took an unexpected trip to New York
City to attend a memorial service for Jeff Brown. Of course, Flat
Stanley travels with me and I've posted images of him:
Greece,
Egypt,
Austria and
Hungary,
New
York City, and
Scotland.
In July, 2006, I took Flat Stanley to
Bathurst
Inlet, the smallest
community in Nunavut. Most of the time I spend at home in London,
Ontario, teaching, updating
and
revising the Flat Stanley Project, reading and enjoying my hobby of
digital photography.

Check out my latest venture, My Travel Teddy. I am currently writing a children's story that supports My Travel Teddy and puts a new twist on a traditional story.
For the last two years I have been team-teaching a grade 3 - 4 split grade class with an outstanding teacher, Zillah Moss. We were fortunate to have had an excellent community of 44 eager and successful students. For the new school year, Sptember 2010, I will be returning to special education.
