I have had the pleasure of being a student teacher at Loma Verde Elementary School in Novato, CA during the fall of 2020. It is a vibrant community of diverse learners. Even remotely, the warmth, rigor, and culture of this exceptional school shines through.

I am also being mentored by Jennifer Weltzien of the Cove Elementary School in Corte Madera, CA in a regular substitute position. I get the opportunity to be the lead teacher both in person and online delivering my created lessons and hers as well.

Pinkalicious Lesson Plan for 1st and 2nd Grade Students at Loma Verde Elementary During Distance Learning

January-May 2021 I have worked at International Community School as a 4th Grade Maternity Leave Replacement Teacher

"It's show time folks!" Every day that I teach virtually at International Community School, I plan it with the strengths of virtual classrooms. I prepare my lessons as if I am preparing for a multimedia television performance. Using the UDL principle of multiple means of engagement, my students learn through music, media, video, slides and text. Each learning day is an experience where we leverage technology as an asset instead of a handicap. Our days begin with Vivald's Concert in G as students enter the virtual classroom on Zoom.
