How are you involved in education?
I am a 5th grade teacher at Friends School of Baltimore. This is my first year in 5th, I taught 4th grade at Friends for 8 years. I have been teaching for about 12 years, and I have never been more motivated and excited to be in education! I am a Global Lead teacher (2012-2013) for the Global Classrooms Project and will be presenting "The #Malala Project, An Attempt at a Global PBL" at Global EdCon 2013 November 19th! I love, love, love PBL and always love to collaborate and learn more with other people.
Have you ever attended an unconference?
Oh yes, and I loved it! I cannot say I have attended that many though. I attended EdCamp Philly and EdCamp Baltimore last year. I also attempted to host my own unconference this year on project based learning. It was the first in the United States, but 3rd in the world. Project Learning Swap Meet 2013 began in Sydney, Australia and was created by Bianca and Lee Hewes, two awesome Aussie, edgy educators I met at PBL World in Napa Valley last June.
How do you hope Edcamp Baltimore will allow you to be more?
Spending time learning from and with other educators always allows and fosters motivation for me to "be more!" I would love to connect with other local and also not so local educators.
What are your hopes and goals to allow those you teach to be more?
I believe that my students have a right to be self-directed learners. I believe they have a right to learn how to learn, how to be global citizens, how to have empathy that allows them to serve others. My hopes and goals are that my beliefs about learning help create an atmosphere that respects their individuality as learners and fosters confidence in them so that they take risks with their learning. My hope is that they will share what they know and be humble enough to listen to others to learn more.
