TEACHING EXPERIENCE

HI, I'm Mandy. I have been a teacher for 20 years now and have loved every single minute of it.I have a passion for making EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS not only academic, but more importantly FUN! In the last few years my love for SOCIAL EMOTIONAL activities in the classroom have doubled. I truly feel like we as teachers / Mentors have a civic duty to create citizens who understand themselves and how to make the world a better place.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My teaching style is very simple: RELATIONSHIP FIRST.....everything else will come easier if that is done immediately. My classroom kiddos are a part of my OHANA (family) that academic year and for years afterward.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Yet to be added

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I went to the University of San Diego many years ago and majored in Political Science. I love politics and history. I wanted to go into government to make a difference but found myself with a job opportunity in teaching little ones and realized in the class is where I can make a difference in kiddos’ lives. I have a Master's degree in elementary education , certification in the area of Gifted and Talented and am in the middle of finishing a certificate program in the area of CHARACTER EDUCATION/SEL for all grade level students. Very fascinating area!

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I was born and raised in Southern California and love spending time at the beach, mountains, and everywhere in between.
