Reading, writing, and communicating are some of the most valuable skills one can master. I love to teach because I love to empower young people while building meaningful relationships. Also, I am an educator that stands for educational equity.
Educational equity works towards valuing what every learner brings to the classroom, including their backgrounds, beliefs, educational experiences, intelligences, expectations, perceptions, identities, biases, and learning styles. Equitable education requires teachers to evaluate their curriculums and to uncover the hidden curriculums embedded in their classroom content. The pedagogy of an equitable classroom focuses on critical thinking and attends to sociopolitical relationships. Learning that is centered around students and assessments that are authentic create the most empowerment and equality for all learners.
I attended Colorado State University for my undergrad degree. I also earned my master's degree in Educational Equity and Cultural Diversity from Colorado University. I am endorsed as a CLD teacher.
I love to spend time with my husband and my son. I also enjoy:
