I have fourteen years of K-12 education and most of my experience has been in private education. Since 2003, I have studied progressive education and I consider myself an alternative educator. I specialize in thematic nature connecting units integrating the arts, Math, Writing, Science, Literature and Ancient History. I have seven years of experience leading youth outdoor activities including basic birding, animal tracking, stream and pond studies, hiking, plant ID and primitive skills.
I consider myself a facilitator offering youth tools, short powerful teaching nuggets and to move out of the eager learners way allowing them freedom to explore their curiosities in a free exploration learning center set up. I am there as a guide and mentor to assistant my students in their learning journey. I believe humans learn best when they're most passionate and desirous to learn something. The real juice for a learner is when he/she is excited to learn. If they are not interested in learning something, they probably won't learn it.
