Yokohama International Teacher MYP Humanities and Head of Department - Google Certified Teacher
Yokohama, Japan
I currently live in Japan, where I teach grades 6-9 humanities and history at Yokohama International School. I am experienced MYP and DP Humanities and History teacher and have worked in two schools with a 1:1 classroom environment. I love how technology affects my teaching and my students’ learning. I was named an Apple Distinguished Educator in 2010. Also in 2010, I started at Yokohama International School, where I helped develop the new MYP Humanities curriculum and helped introduced the Connected Learning Community 1:1 MacBook program. I’m passionate about finding new ways to teach skills and content in a 21st Century world and I think we are lucky as educators to be part of this transformational change in schools.
