Listed below is what I believe make up the 4 main pillars that support the foundation of STREAM (STEM) education.
1. SEL
*Social Emotional Learning
2. PBL
*Project Based Learning
3. The 5 Step Engineering Design Process:
*Ask and or identify problem or challenge
*Imagine how you may go about the solution
*Plan the solution or prototype
*Create, test and evaluate
*Improve by modifying then retesting
4. Utilizing the 4 C's of STEM
*Critical thinking
*Communication
*Creativity
*Collaboration
I am so blessed to be teaching what I love, in such an amazing community, at such an amazing school, to such amazing kiddos!
I have had a very colorful educational path. My first major in college was Elementary Education where I attended The University of Maryland.
I then received a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration & Marketing. In 2015 I received credentials in Mindfulness, Life Coaching and Cognitive Behavior. After moving to Dallas in 2018 I received my teaching credentials through the Catholic Diocese of Dallas to teach Kindergarten - 5th grade. In addition, I recieved my teaching certification in Elementary STEM education.
My husband Bobby and I have 2 amazing sons: Price, who attends University of Arkansas...and Brogan who attends Dallas Jesuit.
We have 4 rescue pups that we just love and adore; Luna, Roxy, Libby, & Levi.
I am overjoyed to embark into the STREAM world again this school year.
I know we will have a lot of fun!!
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
