Experience
From elementary ed to all-grade special ed; from constructivist teaching to even yoga, we've got you covered! Between the two of us, we have over 20 years of teaching experience. We have built large-scale, community projects alongside our students while embedding standards-based curricula seamlessly into the folds. We are total curriculum geeks who also contract out our curriculum-building services to entities and individual teachers. It's pretty much all we talk about :)
Teaching style
We are both big proponents of constructivist, project and inquiry-based methodologies. We feel it is important that the teachers create the environment conducive to learning. The teacher ensures the foundational skills, builds the scaffolding, and then steps aside to allow the learning to actively take place. Students learn best when they are engaged and excited and when they can draw upon their prior knowledge and experience to construct their own understanding. It's all about making connections.
What about the standards, you say? Everything we create is deeply rooted in the standards. It is full of content, skills practice, and enrichment. It just might require you to rethink how you present the material. We are constantly amazed at what our students are capable of when they turn from passive to active participants in their learning.
My own education history
We have educational degrees, masters in curriculum, and even a law degree between us! Yes, we may just take the "life-long learner" slogan to the max.
Additional biographical information
So what does all of this "constructivist" lingo mean for the pieces we offer? We have devoted countless hours to creating pieces that we know will hook the students, keep them engaged, and get them thinking critically. All of our offerings are kid-approved! Our pieces are full of questions to get the students constructing their understanding. We may flip the sequence of content to require the students to have to use their own strategies for building backwards. Or, we may give away the ending first to provoke their curiosity. Many times, you will see a cross-curricular approach where math shows up in social studies, or science in writing. All of this reshapes our educational norms and makes learning exciting, not only for the students, but for you, the teacher, as well.
