Danielle Corsini
Meet Danielle Corsini – Beginning Teacher
Mathematics, Grades 9, 10 and 11
St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, Hamilton
Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board
Danielle Corsini’s love of teaching was fostered by her own mathematics teachers, whom she describes as simply
“awesome.” In only her second year of teaching, Ms. Corsini strives to make every lesson engaging, incorporating
demonstrations, visuals, games, real-life examples, cross-word puzzles and hands-on activities into her classes.
She fosters self-esteem in her students by encouraging group board work and doling out rounds of applause for a
job well done. Aside from inspiring students in math, Ms. Corsini also helps develop healthy young adults by
coaching field hockey and participating on the Athletics Advisory Council. She has helped her students reach out
to those in need by accompanying them to the Dominican Republic to build houses and assisting in organizing a
pilgrimage walk for the poor. Today, Ms. Corsini’s inspiration comes not only from those who taught her, but also
from those whom she teaches.
