Self-Study: Update #1

January 15, 2023February 1, 2023 / amandacoan / Leave a comment

My students are pretty engaged when I'm modeling and explicitly teaching. When it comes to them generating their own ideas though it can be like pulling teeth.

I graduated in December of 2012 with a BA in Elementary Education with a Literacy minor and reading endorsement.  I started the first week in 2013 nervous.  I would have to start off as a substitute and I was not finding any available jobs.  I had a long term job lined up in March for … Continue reading The Very Beginning
