More about Andrea Bray
I am the proud mother of 3 boys - Ethan, our 2-year old curious, book-loving, chatterbox, and Grady and Keller, our 9-month old identical twins who sometimes look nothing alike and other times are difficult to tell apart. My husband, Mike, and I love to take our family on adventures filled with opportunities to experience new things, ask questions, and laugh!
As an educator, I have a strong passion to educate young minds in a safe, inquiry-based, exploratory environment. My goal is to have students join me on a journey that allows them to develop into critical thinkers who seek challenge in a 21st century world. My passion and love for developing not only the academic side of a learner, but also the social-emotional side, supports students to develop a deep love and respect for themselves and others. I believe in planning for instruction around student interests in order to foster intrinsic motivation and stimulate a passion to learn. I incorporate a diverse array of teaching methodologies and techniques in order to enthusiastically engage each and every student in achieving their academic success and develop their self-confidence. With these skills, students will understand their potential to embrace their dreams and turn them into reality.
