What is your “WHY” for teaching? I teach because I want to give all kids the opportunities and tools to take the world by storm.
Area of Expertise: My content expertise is English and social studies. I am also our school’s senior project coordinator. My favorite thing, however, is creating culture in my classroom, in my school, and in the teaching profession.
PBL Experience: I just completed my tenth year of teaching in a wall-to-wall PBL school. I have also facilitated PBL training for Magnify Learning for several years and previously trained in the New Tech Network.
Favorite aspect of PBL: I love that students engage more fully in project work. I love that they find authenticity in their work.
Why do you enjoy facilitating? Life as a PBL facilitator causes me to grow as well. I don’t do the same things every day or every year. My PBL classroom necessitates growth and professionalism from me as well as from my students.
