Inspiration
Hi! My name is Cassidy and I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, where my love and passion for teaching began. From the moment I created my own "play" classroom as a 1st grader, I knew that I would one day create my own classroom environment. That dream became a reality as I pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Visual Art at the University of San Diego. I then went on to receive my teaching credential through the School of Leadership and Educational Sciences at the University of San Diego. My major allowed me to visit various elementary schools, observing many different teaching methods and gave me the opportunity to plan and execute lessons. Thankfully, Explorer Elementary was one of those schools. I quickly discovered that I fit comfortably into the social and emotional curriculum and became passionate about how powerful it is in helping students thrive together. I went on to create my own tutoring company, where I was able to deeply connect with and help students thrive. My favorite part was being able to run a week long camp, "Kind Camp." Our goal here was to spread love and kindness throughout our community and to help create a positive and loving environment for these girls. As an aspiring teacher, my wish is to make a positive impact on the education of elementary students. I truly hope to use my passion for teaching to help others find their love and joy and I'm excited to share my journey of being a teacher with you! |
