I am passionate about learning that is tailored to children's interests and gives lots of opportunity for children to be creative and critical thinkers. I think it's important that learning materials cater to a variety of learning styles and are differentiated so that individual needs can be better met. These resources will not only engage your learners, but they'll save you time, so that you can focus on doing what you do best.
