My Project

I get to teach at one of the best schools in the world. I’m not just saying that, I truly believe it. Although my students come from low-income neighborhoods and lack many resources, they are some of the most resilient children I know. They are smart, they are brave and they like to have fun.

Teachers at my school try to always create lessons that are both academically challenging and fun.

My hope is to introduce strategic board games to my students so they can begin exploring learning in a new and exciting way. This style of learning can hopefully help them succeed in the classroom as well.
