Hey Everyone, this semester, as part of my FNED 546 course at RIC with Prof Mattiauda, I will be volunteering at an elementary school in Providence RI. As part of the course, but also as a tool to help improve my teaching ability and skills, I will blog about my experiences at this school, hoping to become a more culturally competent teacher. For security reasons I am using pseudonyms for the school, which I will call "Wayside Elementary", working with "Mrs. Johnson" helping out with math in grades 2-5.
As far as about me, I am not a typical education grad student. I graduated from IIT in Chicago with a BS Electrical Engineering back in 2010. Since then I have realized, with the help of many others, that I really enjoy being with children, especially teaching them, since I have always had a passion for learning and would like to share it with them. I currently have a part time job at Lowe's in Warwick and enjoy hanging out with friends, movies, sports and video games.
