My Students

My students come to school each day eager to learn. They are self-starters who are confident in their learning and are working hard towards their goals. Through it all, they focus on failing forward which follows our school's design principles.

Our school is a learner active school where students are encouraged to take ownership over their learning and apply their learning to real-life problems.

Student engagement and success will spark in a hands-on environment where students are able to work through rigorous topics. The future of the world is in our classrooms today!

My Project

Get Your Teach on is a national conference with the most current research-based strategies that will light my classroom on fire. It is a one-of-a-kind experience for elementary school teachers that allow us to share our passion and enthusiasm for education and get expert tips, tricks, best practices, and teacher secrets to building a successful, engaging, and rigorous classroom. I will leave feeling empowered, motivated, and prepared to create dynamic lessons that will challenge my students and leave them hungry for more. Get Your Teach On is unlike any other educators’ conference that I will attend and will transform my classroom.
