About us
We are passionate about innovative ways to engage your students.
Hello and Welcome!
I'm Amanda, and I align standards and integrate content to help teachers meet the needs of the Whole Child!
I have a boundless desire to learn about everything and am always coming up with ideas. As such, I have yet to find a standard for any subject or grade level that I couldn’t teach through art! I love working with teachers who are looking for innovative ways to meet their students’ needs.
I’m a mom of three and a teacher! So, I know how important it is to make learning rigorously fun and keep the process simple at the same time!
I can help you pick power standards or troublesome standards, find the art connections, and break it down in to a three-step lesson you can use immediately in your classroom.
If you would like Amanda to speak to your school or district inquire about her speaking engagements.
