Welcome to my web page. My name is Patrick Lewis. I joined the Faculty of Education in the Early Childhood Education area on July 1st 2004. Prior to that I was with the Greater Victoria School District in B.C. on Vancouver Island as a teaching Elementary Vice-principal for three years. From 1997 to 2001 I was a primary teacher on Saltspring Island, B.C. with the Gulf Islands School District and from 1987 to 1996 I was a primary teacher on Pender Island with the same school district.
I am a storyteller-teacher-researcher with a passionate interest in story, storytelling and narrative as a way of learning, knowing and being.

My area of teaching and research interests cut
across several landscapes, however, narrative and story tend to frame my
epistemological pursuits.
