Introduction

My name is Amanda Adair and I am currently a second year, third grade Virtual Learning Academy Lead Teacher at Sage Oak Charter School. I am passionate about travel, spending time outdoors, connecting with others and collecting vintage items. I was raised in Riverside, California and currently live by the beach in San Clemente, California. 

The Virtual Learning Academy is a homeschool program that provides the students with a virtual brick-and-mortar experience. We provide an enriching learning environment where students can use technology to attend a virtual class full time from the comfort of their own homes. Throughout the last two years, I have learned to communicate with students through the Zoom and Canvas platforms, develop leadership skills, and use technology resources to provide engaging lessons. During my second year as a virtual teacher, I have incorporated new tools to further engage students in a distant learning classroom.
