Class Experience

This animal-inspired counting and P.E. class will begin with a hello song to greet each learner by name, before moving into a quick warm-up to ensure that our bodies are ready for exercise. We will count the dots on virtual dice, shared on the screen, to determine how many repetitions of each animal-based exercise we will complete. Then we will get our wiggles out and strengthen our hearts through a series of aerobic exercises, demonstrated by the instructor and supported by a slideshow of animal images. We'll take a moment to cool down together to make sure our bodies are ready to return to rest, and we will finish the class with a brief discussion section allowing each learner to share their thoughts about the day's class. 
I value an emergent teaching style, in which I respond to student interests and preferences as much as possible during the course of each session. As such, the order and content of each activity may be modified to ensure that each young learner is as developmentally supported and intrinsically motivated as possible.

Learning Goals

-Students will practice counting up to 12 using one-to-one correspondence (matching each dot with one number). 
-Students will engage their hearts and muscles through a series of aerobic exercises designed to strengthen their bodies. 
-Students will learn basic animal facts corresponding to the movements used in our session.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Massachusetts Teaching Certificate
Master's Degree in Education from Wheelock College
I hold my MS in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College at Boston University, and I am professionally certified in Early Childhood, Moderate Disabilities, English as a Second Language, and Sheltered English Immersion in the state of Massachusetts. I have ten years of teaching experience at the early childhood level in a wide variety of racially, ethnically, linguistically, and neurologically diverse settings--lab, private, public, home-based, non-profit, co-op, and virtual--throughout the Greater Boston area.

As co-founder of the National SEED Project Emily Style so adeptly summarized in her 1988 essay "Curriculum as Window and Mirror", curriculum should function "both as window and as mirror, in order to reflect and reveal most accurately both a multicultural world and the student herself or himself". This means that it is intrinsically important for ALL educators--including those who may not be members of a marginalized group themselves--to expose every student, regardless of their personal identity markers, to a multiplicity of cultures and ways of being in the world. To ensure that I am up to this crucial task, I have continuously pursued and successfully completed the following graduate-level coursework related to multicultural, multilingual, inclusive, and antiracist instruction over the past seven years: 

* Racial and Cultural Identities-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Introduction to Inclusive Early Childhood Education Settings-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Effective Sheltered English Instruction: Second Language Acquisition-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Impact of Special Needs: Early Childhood-Wheelock College at Boston University
* Mathematical Learning for Diverse Learners-Wheelock College at Boston University 
* Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
