ABOUT ME
Recently, I have earned a Learning Experience Design (LXD) Certificate through Oregon State University.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Education with 8+ years experience in the classroom. I am seeking to use my background and skills to create innovative and engaging online learning experiences for K12.
TEACHING & LIFELONG LEARNING STATEMENT
I enjoy creating a warm, nurturing, caring environment where learners are comfortable making mistakes and taking risks. I want to inspire as well as empower my learners to achieve their potential. I want to help my learners maintain or foster natural curiosity, and help learners fall in love with learning. I do this by being curious, and showing genuine enthusiasm for all of the subjects that I teach. I believe that all learners have gifts and should be encouraged to discover them. The best kind of lifelong learning is active, self-directed, and happens in a learning community. Learning can be messy and full of mistakes. I know that authentic tasks make learning more meaningful. I recognize that I develop as an educator by learning from my learners.
