Hello! I'm Ms. Jennie, and I am SO excited to begin teaching on Outschool! I have 5 years of teaching experience in the public schools (Preschool-2nd) as a certified Early Childhood Educator/Special Ed. (with ESL and LBS 1 endorsements). I have experience in a variety of classroom settings including self-contained settings, small group and individual interventions, and Preschool For All to name a few. 

My Philosophy: 
Children are naturally curious of the world around them. Research shows that when you can provide meaningful experiences that connect with the child’s natural interest, it enhances their learning and engagement. I believe in this as well as that learning can be fun and exciting, so long as especially as a teacher I cater to each of my student’s unique strengths and interests and teach in a multi-modal ways. In addition, I believe that every student can learn, it just may not be in the same way or on the same day as others. Each student and family brings their own set of knowledge and instead of focusing on the "I can't do this", this class focuses on the "I can" and rephrases "I can't" to " I cannot yet." <Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset>          
                                                              
 ~Sometimes the greatest things we can do for children is instilling the confidence in them to believe that they can and will.~
