About Ms. PlantzI am a recent graduate from Cal State San Marcos with a B.S. in Mathematics. I am on my journey to becoming a high school math teacher. My goal as a teacher is to inspire students to find their own passions while learning math and creating connections with classmates. Another passion of mine is dance. I started dancing when I was a little girl and never plan on stopping. I love being around friends and family, exploring the world both in knowledge and outdoors.
When exploring my educational philosophy I always lean towards experimentalism. Which focuses on teaching students the skills to work through all kinds of problems so that in the future they will be able to overcome any problem that comes their way. I also believe a great way to motivate students is to put them in a real world situation, what better way to do this than have students get active in their society to create a positive change. Due to my experience as a dancer I believe that I have become a very hands on learner, I like being able to work through problems and see a change. I hope to help create self-motivated individuals who strive to be life-long learners to make our world a better place. |
