Upper Elementary Teacher & School Director
Joined Glendale Montessori School as a student in 1985, then in 1999 as a summer job and finally in 2009 as a teacher.
What I love most about Montessori:
Montessori fosters a student's natural inclination and desire to learn. It does not force a student to adapt and change in order to learn or grow, instead the method is ready to guide and support the child through the various stages of development.
My favorite classroom material:
The timeline of life
Activities I enjoy outside of school:
Bird watching, listening to live music and concerts, visiting museums, spending time with my family and collecting Alice in Wonderland memorabilia.
