"I had the privilege of working with Charle Peck at Governor Simcoe Secondary School. Charle was the lead facilitator of Teen Talk and the School Justice Committee. Charle is passionate when working with teenagers and helping them to reach their full potential. She is caring, honest and connects with each of her students and club members on a personal level. Charle has a unique way of guiding students into future leaders. She pushes students to advocate for themselves, and she supports them in achieving their goals. Charle's education and years of experience working with teenagers makes her an excellent mentor and role model."

"I have worked with Charle as a fellow educator for over 10 years now. Charle has always been the consummate professional person. She is kind, witty, caring, and down to earth. My daughter has had the pleasure of having her as a classroom teacher and when asked to describe her said, "She is sweet and very empathetic, and you always feel safe confiding in her. She listens intently and helps you to find solutions to make things better." Charle is a lifelong learner. She approaches all projects with enthusiasm. Charle is the type of person who will seek out the quietest person in the room and make them feel like a million dollars for coming out and showing up. She is a phenomenal educator in every way. Our lives all shine a bit brighter for having known her!"

I have had the pleasure of working with Charle as a teaching colleague. She has the ability to make any and everyone feel welcomed. She draws upon life experiences in a way that is easy to relate to, and she is such an empathetic listener. Beyond that, Charle is a dedicated professional who exudes enthusiasm and passion. She can engage students in a way that makes them feel important and excited to learn. Charle is also insightful and devoted. While teaching full-time she has pursued a Master's of Social Work Degree and launched an interesting podcast called "Advancing Humanity" that focuses on topics which are current and relevant.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Charle Peck for over 15 years. When I was new to teaching Social Sciences Charle was the best resource and partner a teacher could ask for, as she helped me navigate through new courses and content, sharing her expertise and materials. Her vast knowledge of causes and consequences of behaviours unique to the workings of the teenage brain informs not only her teaching, but her true passion to make a difference in the lives of students and their parents. To say that Charle is a hard worker is an understatement. In just the past year - undoubtedly the most challenging year current educators have faced - Charle finished her Master's of Social Work, did clinical hours at our go-to local organization for teen Mental Health, started a PodCast, taught a full-time schedule, and most importantly, maintained her role as a mother and wife."

Charle’s work is tireless in the quest to help better understand the adolescent brain. While maintaining a full time teaching career, raising three children under the age of 17, obtaining her Master’s in Social Work, Charle also launched a thought provoking podcast called Advancing Humanity. Her work is mindful and sets the foundations to benefit parents and educators alike.
