Why I Became an Educator
What matters most to me is that anyone who interacts with me feels seen, heard, and valued, inspiring them to do the same for others. Having a relationship with or being associated with people, things, or ideas is the epitome of learning. In education, curiosity nudges us outside of our comfort zones where we figuratively walk in someone else’s shoes along with endless possibilities in discovering what has yet to be.
Whether I’m exploring the past, planted in the present, or imagining the future, learning through those connections offers holistic sensory learning experiences to embrace, challenge, or lay down tracks for a change. The beauty of education is its diversity and inclusiveness are non-negotiable; all brains are in the game!
The Online School Experience at Pennwood Cyber Charter School
There’s a level of trust between families, students, and our staff that’s exclusive to the online learning community. Parents are empowered to see their child’s success firsthand while partnering with teachers. There are many opportunities for students and teachers to come together via virtual and in-person activities.
Intentional relationships are built through varied communications between students, caregivers, Learning Coaches, teachers, and school staff in establishing trust and partnership, which is pivotal in creating and sustaining a successful online school community. Our students and families have chosen online learning to meet their unique needs and are committed to academic excellence. Engaging with our students and families, building our school community, and celebrating our students’ small and big wins is priceless!
Connections Academy revels in the challenges of adapting and growing in providing innovative, accessible, and reliable learning resources that prepare students for a lifetime of learning.
