A Bit About Me...

I am Virginia Grant, a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and currently a student at University of South Alabama. I am pursuing a career in Elementry Education. Teaching has always been a dream of mine, my mother was a teacher and inspired me to want to do the same. I am a wife and mother of twin daughters. Continuing my education while managing a family at the same time has not always been easy but I feel that in the end it will make me a better teacher. I look forward to my graduation and the beginning of my career as an educator.

Tools to Teach Everyone

Teaching in a classroom with children of all different learning styles can be challenging. Our society tends to rely strongly on standardized testing and other traditional testing methods to rank children. As a teacher, I plan to utilize tools that engage students with alternative learning styles. To me, children will succeed in an environment where they are able learn hands-on. This will include the use of art, technology, in class projects, and at home projects, just to name a few. It is important to remember that all students have the ability to learn new things. It is our job as teacher to teach to all students, not only the students who "test well."
