This will be specific to the goals that you have for your learner and/or based off of formal/informal assessment.

*I can help individualize and personalize instruction whether your learner is heading to Kindergarten in the Fall, is already in Kindergarten or First and needs review of these skills or is in Preschool and ready to move on to more advanced skills.

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. I have a minor in Psychology and strongly believe in building/teaching social-emotional skills both explicitly as well as in the natural moment from a very young age! 

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", these individualized tutoring sessions focus on the "I can" and rephrases "I can't" to " I cannot yet." <Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset>
