My Mini Lesson

About me

I am a 2nd grade teacher at Round Hill Elementary School in Washingtonville Central School District. I graduated from SUNY Cortland in December of 2020 with my Undergraduate degree in Early Childhood/ Childhood Education, with a concentration in Social Sciences. I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Curriculum Development and Instructional Technologies through SUNY Albany.

I enrolled in the CDIT program at SUNY Albany to better understand the backbone of my students' tools. We use technology every day in the classroom whether we like it or not. Enhanced by COVID-19, the need for technology experts in the classroom has sky rocketed. I want my students to be proficient learners with all of the tools I can possibly provide.

My Topic and Purpose

My topic for this mini course is investigating new engaging ways to explore Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in real academic contexts. Typically in elementary classrooms, SEL is overlooked and trickled down to reading a story and asking a student "How are you". These are both important tactics when creating social and emotionally literate individuals, but I believe we can do more. The goal of this mini course is to lay out the steps and processes we can do to make SEL more meaningful to our students. This means using real world examples, references to students' prior knowledge, and examples of SEL in our academic curriculum.
