My teaching style is entirely child centered education. Curriculum can be built using a child's interest which fuels their desire to learn. Self-directed and natural learning has worked in my classroom and home-school experience for 20+ years. Being a Special-education teacher and mother, I've learned the benefits of using bright and fun graphics to bring mundane curriculum to life. Power packing information into short fun lessons is key to keeping students wanting to learn.
