TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught for 20 years mostly as a fourth and fifth grade teacher to newcomer students. I taught a Chinese bilingual kindergarten class for two years. Now I am teaching a fourth grade Chinese bilingual class. I love teaching, especially getting students to smile when they suddenly can read a book in Chinese.

MY TEACHING STYLE

project-based learning

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

National Board Certified Teacher: English as a New Language

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

UC Davis, San Francisco State University

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I write stories in English and Chinese. I write and illustrate each little Chinese reader so that my students get more exposure to the Chinese characters learned in class and my newcomer students can access the math and science curriculum in Chinese. I also have published Chinese stories on ichinesereader.com. To learn more about why I started creating little Chinese readers, check out my website at https://sites.google.com/view/working-wonders/home
