Perspectives in Online Learning: Katelyn Maher

Grade 6 teacher
Giffen Memorial Elementary School

"Teaching virtually has been rewarding and yet also, oh so difficult! I miss the faces and minds of my students, personally seeing them every day and being able to connect with them as we build the curriculum together."
 
"One positive part of virtual learning is that I’m still able to get a lot of 1:1 time with students, either through a Google Meet or through comments on Google Classroom. I’m still receiving their thoughts, feedback and questions, which keeps the learning alive."
 
"The students’ positive attitudes, as well as their collective high expectations to reach the learning standards, support their commitment to their work with and for each other. All of this reminds me of why I teach at Giffen!"
