Interdisciplinary

This page exhibits work that I have completed in the Hutchins program whose themes bled through to focus on teaching and education. Being a teacher to young children is a passion of mine. Having the ability to take courses and acquire experience in my field of passion, even as early has my first year in Hutchins, was monumental to my growth as an educator. Here are some important pieces that helped grow my skill to be an educator. 

​

 I had the opportunity to take classes where we put together lesson plans, read through lesson plans, read about different styles of teaching, performing different styles of teaching, and responding to all of those. I also had the opportunity, my freshman year, to volunteer and help in a third grade classroom. This time of experience helped to solidify, early on in college, that I truly did want to teach. Having to declare a career path can be very daunting to do right out of high school, so having been able to spend time in the classroom as a freshman was a great way to really tell if teaching was for me. Turns out, it was.
