Hello,

​

My name is Oleg Nurmuradov, and for the last 3 months I have been a student teacher at Wilson Middle School and will be there until December 21st. I am currently an undergraduate studying Physical Education and Kinesiology at the University of Lethbridge. At the end of my journey I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Education and a minor in Science. This practicum has been a very exciting experience to teach at Wilson Middle School as part of my last professional semester.

​

         It has always been in my character to educate others and I believe this is why I am the person I am, both as an athlete and a coach and now a pre-service teacher. I have always been interested in helping others achieve their highest potentials and watch their development through the year(s), then later in life knowing that my presence has had a truly positive change to the lives of the individuals in a fun manner. Throughout my education at University of Lethbridge I also held up a job, and I believe that due to my passion as an educator was my reasoning behind also taking over a maternity leave for a manager and taking on the role as a Store Manager while also attending classes, as I was determined to teach and train new employees stemmed from my desire to be an educator.  I truly believe that happiness is real at this very moment, this moment that you physically see development happen, see learning take place, and most of all, observe a student's ability to incorporate what they have learned (through various subjects) into meaningful questions that involve more than just basic thinking.

​

          As U of L Track and Field athlete and an advocate for active lifestyle, my favourite thing to do when I’m not teaching or in classes is to stay active and play variety of sports. I have gained a lot of experience as both a coach and team player. I have coached kids from ages 7-18 in track and field for the Medicine Hat Panthers Track Club and assistant coached the Medicine Hat High School Track and Cross-Country running team for 3 years. I also co-coached the Coalhurst Badminton Team and lead the Wilson Middle School Running Club and the ID Volleyball Camp, as well as Co-Coaching the Wilson Senior Varsity Girls Basketball Team. 

​

Sincerely,

Oleg Nurmuradov
