던전앤드드래곤: 잃어버린 도시의 귀환

I have been a homeschooling mother for 19 years to four children with very different learning styles.  I have taught countless classes to homeschoolers over the years, ranging from Latin to art history to astrophysics.  I've also assisted students in leading their own educational groups, such as book clubs and social justice clubs.  For four years, I traveled the United States full-time in an RV with my family; we visited 46 states and enjoyed everything from viewing amazing wildlife in National Parks to entertainment and great food in some of the biggest cities.  We've now settled down near the beach in sunny Florida.

I believe in meeting children where they are and tailoring their education to fit their needs.  I believe that the best education a child can have is an education they feel they have ownership of.  Children learn and retain information best when the subject has personal relevance to them and when they are guided towards their own discovery of knowledge.  One of my favorite things about teaching here on Outschool is watching children grow in confidence and learn through play.

Dungeons and Dragons is one of my favorite hobbies - I love everything about it, from writing stories and reading lore to painting miniatures and making detailed digital maps to laughing with my learners and being surprised by their creativity.  I love other games as well - if it's not D&D night at my home, we play video games (Gartic Phone and Mario Kart are current favorites) or board games.

Creating a safe, affirming, and anti-racist classroom is my biggest priority.  Whether students identify as LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, socially anxious, or if they need support in any other way, I provide gentle encouragement and the space for them to be themselves while having fun.
