Teaching style
I believe that the teachers have a very challenging job, addressing the academic, social, and emotional needs of children and guiding them towards independence.
Best Practices in Teaching:
*Social-Emotional Learning & strong teacher-student relationships
*Growth Mindset
*Science of Reading: direct, explicit, cumulative, multi-sensory phonics instruction & knowledge-building activities
*Differentiated & Scaffolded Instruction: Meeting students where they are and providing supports as necessary
I am constantly growing and learning about how kids learn best!
