Experience
Next year I'll be moving into my second year of teaching. I work at an amazing international school in Italy and teach 4th grade.
Teaching style
I believe that teaching is about creating a love of learning, and that this begins with creating a safe and supportive environment that fosters growth in the whole child. In order to learn, children need to feel comfortable enough to take risks. Beyond that, I work to create and classroom that encourages curiosity. Students who work hands-on with the subject area and seek answers to essential questions they've helped to develop take ownership of their learning.
My own education history
I recieved both my Bachelor's in Early Childhood/Childhood Education and Masters in Literacy from Alfred University.
Additional biographical information
I am the luckiest person in the world in that I get to combine two of my passions with my job: travel and teaching. Being able to see the world has been incredible, and I'm fortunate to actually call lesson planning and creating a "hobby" that I truly enjoy. I call Upstate New York home, and as amazing as it is to see new places, nothing beats spending time at home with my family.
