PBL Project Based Learning - genius hour DIGITAL google GATE / GT
Why GENIUS HOUR ? For K–12 schools, a large emphasis has been put on using technology to teach students future-ready skills. But some experts indicate that allowing students to explore their own interests with technology is key to fostering other important skills. That’s where “genius hour” comes in. Using this teaching practice, teachers set aside time for students to learn about whatever interests them. By adopting this self-guided learning practice, teachers find they can encourage active

Experience
HI, I'm Mandy. I have been a teacher for 25 years now and have loved every single minute of it.I
have a passion for making EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS not only academic, but more importantly FUN!
In the last few years my love for SOCIAL EMOTIONAL activities in the classroom have doubled. I truly feel like we as teachers / Mentors have a civic duty to create citizens who understand themselves and how to make the world a better place.
Teaching style
My teaching style is very simple: RELATIONSHIPS FIRST.....everything else will come easier if that is done immediately. My classroom kiddos are a part of my OHANA (family) that academic year and for years afterward.
My own education history
I went to the University of San Diego many years ago and majored in Political Science. I love politics and history. I wanted to go into government to make a difference but found myself with a job opportunity in teaching little ones and realized in the class is where I can make a difference in kiddos’ lives.
I have a Master's degree in elementary education , certification in the area of Gifted and Talented and am in the middle of finishing a certificate program in the area of CHARACTER EDUCATION/SEL for all grade level students. Very fascinating area!
Additional biographical information
I was born and raised in Southern California and love spending time at the beach, mountains, and everywhere in between.
