Integrated Curriculum: Imagine Scientist Drawing Activity

Created by

Dr Becky

“If you can see it, you can be it.” This quote is relevant to many things, but may have deeper meaning in the current educational climate, where teachers and administrators are struggling to encourage and facilitate interest in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math).

This goes beyond simply knowing what different science fields are, but requ

Experience

Teaching style

I believe that children learn best when their environments and experiences are creative, loving, supportive, and personalized. I utilize an “Integrated Curriculum” that combines multiple approaches and learning experiences, including group projects, individualized instruction, self-directed learning, active play, and content-process tasks. At the core of all of these approaches is a foundational commitment to maximizing creativity for all children.
