Ms. Amy Wiesner

I am a teacher because….

I like learning.  

I like learning from young people who are often more open-minded than older people.  

I like being creative as I try to keep us all learning and thinking critically about ourselves and our community. 

When I am teaching, …..

I try to remember that we are all individuals.

I try to remember that we all have other priorities.

I try to remember that everything is connected and 

that we are not always in a place to see how the connections impact us as individuals. 

The experience in my classroom is….. 

organized in my mind but not always clear to all students. 

designed to be culturally relevant and rigorous and accessible.

In my class, students experience…..

a variety of writing assignments designed to help students become more effective thinkers and communicators.

a variety of texts and collections of words

intended to spark affirmation, connection and inspiration.

intentional activities designed to build a supportive learning community.

I choose to teach here because….

BCMC and BCCCI offer a space where teachers and students benefit from:

 strong leadership and effective collaboration, 

flexible scheduling and positive attitudes, 

acceptance, adaptation and acceleration.
