雙語部 Ms. Louise Harvey

My name is Louise Harvey. I am excited to be the 3rd-grade teacher at
IBSH this year. It will be my first year at the school but I have 13 years of
varied instructional experience in Taiwan. I am a creative, resourceful teacher
that is invested in educating with a holistic approach to encourage students to
reach their full potential. My goal is to create and maintain a communicative and
supportive classroom, in which each student feels safe, secure, and appropriately
challenged.
I initially studied Architecture and graduated in 2001, but when I started
travelling, my passion for teaching became apparent. In 2019, I completed my
Postgraduate Certificate in Education at the University of South Africa. I am
currently completing my Master's in International Education from Sunderland
University which has provided a wealth of information that will complement my teaching repertoire. I am
eager to see what we can accomplish this year.

IBSH 雙語部 Ms. Lucy Emily Hsu

I am Lucy Emily Hsu, and I am a high school English
teacher starting at IBSH this year. I graduated from UCLA
with a double major in English literature and psychology and
have a Master's degree in education from The College of New
Jersey. I have taught in Taiwan and in Myanmar. I was born
and raised in the United States, mostly Southern California,
but my parents are both Taiwanese and my mother would
bring me back to visit Taiwan during summers. I am
conversational in Chinese, but my reading and writing are
very basic. I have now lived in Taiwan for a total of 8
years. My husband and I have two daughters, ages 6 and 2.
My older daughter is a first grade student at IBSH this year. When I am not teaching, reading or taking care
of my daughters, I enjoy cooking, baking, playing the piano, and practicing yoga and martial arts.

IBSH 雙語部 Mr. Monty Harrison
Mr. Harrison holds a Master of Education degree, USA teaching certificate,
undergraduate degree in English Literature, and a decade of teaching experience.
He enjoys roller skating, board games, audio books, and the Oxford comma.
According to him, “As technology develops and the world changes, the
most stable resource students can invest in is their own thinking. Refined
communication skills, collaborative strategies, and critical awareness empower
us to build the world we want to live in. The Language Arts shape how we
perceive our reality while empowering us to influence our communities through
the evidence, reasoning, force, and beauty of deliberate expression.
“Student success is less about being brilliant and more about being
resilient. We’re here to learn, so meeting each day with the expectation that we
will continue to encounter challenges and make mistakes is the first half of the Growth Mindset. The second
half is trusting that we will continue to improvebymaking mistakes as we face down those challenges. Life
isn’t a static experience – so our time in school should help prepare us for what lies ahead.”
