Outschool Star Educator as of November 2023 
Outschool ACE Educator training completed as of January 2023 

Hi, I'm Teacher Paro (she/her/hers)! I teach the following subjects on Outschool:

- writing
- meditation
- vocabulary
- children’s literature
- travel/area studies
- arts and crafts courses 

I have taught on Outschool since spring of 2020, and teaching on the platform has been such a joy for me. I love seeing my learners gain new knowledge and challenge themselves to exceed their own expectations. In every class, we make a commitment to being open to new knowledge and experiences, and having fun along the way! 

Across all topics I teach, I believe a good learning environment should be:

- kind and respectful to one another 
- interested in questions and new ideas
- open to letting learners (and even the teacher!) make and learn from mistakes
- encouraging of reflection on the learning experience
- appreciative of how amazing it is that we can keep learning and growing through our whole life 

Prior to Outschool, I have had over 10 years of experience in education in instructional and research roles. I have master’s degrees from Brown University and The George Washington University. Through my classes, my learners build:

-creativity
-confidence
-problem-solving skills 
-awareness of self and the community and world around them 

The best teachers I had growing up were encouraging and believed in my abilities, and I hope to do the same for my students. I look forward to seeing you in class!
