Meet Your Teacher

Moriah J.
Moriah J.

I'm passionate about progressive education and believe strongly in the power of student-centered learning. My teaching approach emphasizes inquiry, collaboration, and authentic assessment. I love watching students light up when they make connections and take ownership of their learning. I have experience with project-based learning, Socratic seminars, and differentiated instruction. In my free time, I'm an avid reader, amateur photographer, and volunteer at the local library.
