Work Experience
2008-Present Facilitator AITIS, AIT, Thailand
- Facilitator (2008-present).
- Served as editor-in-chief of the AITIS Bulletin, featuring school wide news, events, and student publications from 2010 to 2018.
- Served on the committees of Curriculum Development for CIS membership, the Team Building Camp Committee for 6th Grade collaboration development, the Transition Committee to assist 6th Grade students for admissions after graduation, and numerous after school activities.
- I am dedicated to create a safe and supportive learning environment for my students where there is increased access and engagement in learning for all students through new innovative teaching methods like modified Bloom’s Taxonomy (to help students spend more time in higher order thinking skills) and revised Flipped Classroom strategy (to make learning more student centered). I also aim to create an environment where teaching and learning are made more varied for every child and where students are motivated to build passion for learning, cultivate meaningful hobbies, and work collaboratively.
- I have created accessible resources for students through my website and successfully introduced iPad technology to my students to help them be more creative and learn through fun ways.
- I have helped students participate in Student Blogging Challenge organized by Edublogs (2016-present) to develop writing, research, and digital skills; to learn coding languages like HTML and JavaScript to create blog posts; and to learn Scratch to create interactive games, stories, and animations.
