I aim to create thinkers by designing problem based lessons that help students problem solve on their own or in groups rather than just being taught how to do something. My store empowers learners by giving them chances to use their own logic first.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught preschool, first grade, 4/5 combo, and 5th grade. While I have loved all of the grades that I have taught, my passion lies with the upper grades.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I aim to create thinkers by designing problem based lessons that require students to problem solve on their own or in groups rather than just being taught how to do something. I believe students should feel empowered by learning and given opportunities to develop their own understanding before being told what to do. In my opinion, learning develops most when students are given the chance to talk to each other, reason creatively, and learn from their mistakes.
