Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! Welcome to Outschool! My name is Teacher Cassandra. I teach Language, Preschool, crafts, Math, and story times. I am a certified teacher with a Masters Degree in Elementary Education. I also am certified in Foundational and Advanced TESOL. I was a teacher in a school for 8 years and I have been a teacher on-line for 3 years. I also homeschool. I love to teach and I love making learning fun for my students! I especially enjoy teaching topics that students have expressed an interest in. I try to incorporate hands-on learning as much as possible through a student-centered approach. My goal in my classes is to have my students play an active role in their learning. I have been married to my husband for 11 years. We have a 7-year-old daughter, a 3-year-old daughter, a 1-year-old son, a dog, and a rabbit! I love to teach! I also enjoy doing crafts, baking, and reading. I also enjoy fun with family and friends. I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!Reviews
