Awards & shining teacher moments
We survived teaching virtually :) and both have a Master's degree in education.
My own education history
Emma earned her undergraduate degree at Purdue University where she studied African-American Studies and Curriculum Design. Mara earned her undergad from Birmingham-Southern College where she studied Collaborative Elementary Education. Both of us hold dual certifications in General and Special Education. We met in graduate school at Johns Hopkins and were both teaching third grade while working towards earning our M.S. in Education.
Additional biographical information
We are an educating duo who started out working as 3rd grade teachers in Baltimore City Public Schools. We collaborated on our lessons and slides as we taught in different schools, taking our students into account when trying to design interesting slides that helped break-down the Eureka curriculum. We put a lot of work into creating engaging slides that our students loved; we thought others might too!
