Experience
Welcome to Explore Engage Educate! I am a current 6th grade teacher who is passionate about creating rigorous yet engaging activities that students will learn from while enjoying themselves. I have taught fifth and sixth grade in the U.S. and served as a school interventionist for grades 4-6. I have also taught English to secondary school students in the U.K.
My goal is to share my ideas so that they may enrich your classroom learning and engage your students!
Teaching style
The three words I would use to describe my teaching style are: innovative, engaging, and reflective. Keeping learning engaging for my students is one of my biggest goals, so I am always looking for creative ways to do this. I also love to utilize technology and keep up with the latest educational trends so that I can incorporate new ideas into my classroom. Lastly, I understand the importance of reflecting upon my teaching, lessons, style, values, strengths/weaknesses, etc., so I encourage constant reflection amongst my students and myself. Upholding this reflective mindset helps to keep my teaching fresh and up-to-date!
