Hello there!
My name is Kristan Hanson and I am the one of the EC resource teachers at Lansdowne Elementary! I am originally from Chicago, Illinois, but I moved to North Carolina when I attended East Carolina University (Go Pirates!). As an International Baccalaureate school, our mission statement involves helping to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people. Your students are very impressionable. At a early age, we can create thinkers who use their communication skills from the curriculum that is taught to be open-minded thinkers. We want them to feel free to ask questions and voice when they do not understand, however, we also want them to understand that other people with their differences, can also be right. Your students are each individually different. Meaning, they have different learning styles and ways that they find success. They may require more hands-on and visual learning strategies that can be used in multiple situations. I am here as a facilitator towards their needs. I want to teach those strategies so that they will not be scared when they come to problems they do not know how to solve. Many of your students involve being guided to choose the right choices in school rather than the wrong ones. I am hoping to be a guide to show them what those right choices are. This year is going to involve a great deal of work. While you might not think it, you are just as important in the classroom as me. Please feel free to contact me when you have questions or concerns. |
