My Students

Pandemic schooling is very different than what we think of when we think of modern school. I've had to stretch and grow in ways I never thought possible to meet student's needs.

My students are a spectacular 2nd graders returning to school full-time for the first time since they were kindergarteners!

They are so happy to be back together with their friends and teachers. Missing out on the critical transitional 1st grade year means that in addition to academic pursuits, they are learning how to do school. We are learning, together, what that looks like as we live through the pandemic and beyond.

My Project

This year-long course will help me to strenghten my teaching practice through deep study of philosophy, trauma-informed pedagogy, community building, accessible learning and equitable instructional practices. I will bring skills and strategies directly into my classroom by integrating strategies into planning and instruction. I also hope offer yoga classes to colleagues and to students as health and safety protocols relax with increased vaccination rates.

It is important for both students and educators to have multiple self-care strategies in our toolboxes as we continue to learn and teach and live through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Life has been a incredibly challenging for all of us since March 2020. Society is determined to get back to the way things used to be, but I want things to be better than they used to be. When an individual has peace within, they show up peacfully in their interactions and relationships with others. Imagine a world where children have been taught how to center and ground themselves... the ripples could truly change the world.
