In her own words . . .
“Good teaching is based on trusting relationships. Relationships thrive on constructive communication and autonomy. My students work in flexible student-led groups every day. It helps and empowers them to share knowledge while also learning to respect others’ opinions. I hear students saying to each other, ‘Good job, I agree with you,’ or ‘Be positive, you can do it.’ My students learn how to politely debate answers to math problems, ask each other for supporting evidence, and even correct me when I fail to explain my answers.”
“I often observe in her classroom and each time I find myself staying longer than I had planned as I get caught up in the excitement for learning that Kimberly creates. When any teacher asks to see another teacher that they might learn from, without reservation I recommend they visit Kimberly’s class.”
