I am constantly trying to level up as a teacher so that I can give my students the best education they all deserve. I am trying to break out of the traditional mold of chalk and talk lessons and instead have rich activities, tasks and tools for my students to be excited and discover the mathematics and computer science skills presented to them.
My students are explorers. Through exploration I watch my students' confidence levels grow as they realize how they are more than capable of achieving success using their own ideas! As they begin to believe more in themselves, they begin to become more engaged in the lessons. These students bring up discussions, topics, and ideas that I have yet to hear in my past years of teaching. Every day I am in awe of their inspiration to me as a teacher and every day I wish I had more tools to provide more successes for them.
