Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Maria, and I am a homeschooling mom. I have been teaching for 13 years with 9 years of classroom experience in the private school setting and 4 years working in homeschool co-ops and online educational platforms with elementary through middle school. I have a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Business Administration and Communication Arts. My minor is in Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution.
In my online classroom, I strive to create a flexible environment where the students are part of the learning process. There is a direct focus on fostering meaningful conversations to guide learning. I believe that each learner has a different learning style that should be encouraged. Relationship building is key in engaging students and my goal is to connect with each student in a way that is meaningful to them.
Outside of the classroom, I am a homeschooling mom to two active children. For the last 8 years, I have been a scout leader for both Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. I was a team manager for Destination Imagination for 5 years. I support my children in their activities, which include, performing arts, pageants, soccer, archery, and hockey. We also enjoy musical theatre and traveling. We are the proud owners of a yellow lab puppy, Suzy.Reviews
