This is my 16th year teaching in public schools. I teach fifth and sixth grade, and integrate learning as much as possible. Prior to teaching in a public school, I taught at environmental education centers for two years.
I believe students should be held accountable for learning, and that teachers should be held accountable for knowing their students. Each child is important, and has a unique perspective. I both follow the standards, and prize student voice. I strive to make my classroom creative, and challenging for each student on his / her level. Ideally, I would like my students to understand the world from many perspectives, so I include group work, individual reflective projects, and communication with others outside our school community.
