Ryan Sikkes has over 20 years’ experience in teaching and administration in Canada’s Yukon territory. He recently finished his tenure with Yukon Government as the Assistant Deputy Minister of Schools and Student Services responsible for operating 30 public schools and educational programs for over 6000 students throughout Yukon. He holds a Bachelor of Education (secondary) degree in instrumental music and chemistry, a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on math and science education, both from the University of Victoria. He also wrote a really boring dissertation on the history of educational governance in Yukon [seriously, it should come with a warning to not operate heavy machinery after reading it. Zzzzzz.] to obtain a Doctor of Education degree in educational leadership and policy from the University of British Columbia. He takes his vocation as an educator very seriously. Himself…not so much.
