Welcome

=Welcome to the School of Hope Teacher Wiki!= I would like to take the time to introduce myself and the goal of this Wiki. My name is Jamie Kastner and I am currently teaching in Philadelphia, PA. I have a Bachelor degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Mathematics. I am in the process of earning a Masters degree in Curriculum & Instruction with a focus on Teacher Leadership. My passion is education but more specifically with instruction. I feel strongly about how our students should be taught and I hope to share my knowledge and expertise by coaching teachers into being great teachers. On that note, I hope to have this Wiki serve as a forum for us all to communicate and help one another. My goal is to share information that I find helpful in my everyday teaching, along with tools and strategies you can bring into your classrooms at the School of Hope.

On the right hand side of the Wiki you will find the pages tab. This is where you can find new content that I add to the Wiki. For starters, I focused on managing a classroom as that is a current need at the School of Hope. The focus of these pages is up to you. Where ever you feel you need support, I will continually put posts up throughout the year to support you. At the bottom of each page is a discussion board. This is where you can post your questions to me or to each other, and we can have a threaded discussion around the topic. I hope you find this Wiki as a great resource to navigate you through your time at the School of Hope!
