Hello and welcome to my Outschool Classroom.  My name is teacher Angie. I hold a Master and Bachelor Degree from Valdosta State University in Valdosta, GA. I am certified to teach by the state of Georgia. My certifications include elementary education, middle school science and social studies, ESOL endorsement, and elementary science endorsement. I have earned a TESOL Certificate as well. 

I use the Science of Reading as I deliver reading and writing content to learners. I believe in a student led and teacher facilitated teaching environment. I believe in building relationships with learners as a way to tap into their interests as one way to guide my instruction. 

I am a certified PBL instructor by the Buck Institute. I serve the state of Georgia as a Science Ambassador. I am versed in the Next Generation Science Standards and have delivered professional development to colleagues on the standards in addition to developing curriculum which integrated the standards.

I have taught in an online environment for more than 5 years. I have 24 years experience as a kindergarten classroom teacher and 4 years as the Science/STEM specialist at an elementary school.

I am versed in teaching learners who are learning English as a second language. I have completed over 10,00 classes to student learning English as a second language. This experience was gained both as an online ESL teacher and in my brick and mortar teaching career. 

I teach in a manner which engages students in timely and developmentally appropriate activities that ignite a love for learning! Interactive, growth mindset, and real-world experiences are my favorite! I look forward to seeing you in my classroom.
