A bilingual learning facilitator with 20 years of experience, Stacey teaches children how to trust themselves through inquiry-based and experiential learning and navigate the skill base of the Common Core.
She states: As a Golden Apple Teacher of Distinction I feel it’s important to impart the understanding that students are the essential designers of their own learning and that they can articulate their ideas to their peers and to me. This articulation can be a suggestion for a novel or an entire science unit. Student learning has many shapes, and I facilitate the process of students creating their unique individual shapes.
I am a 2002 graduate of Chapman University Credential Program and a 1992 graduate of CSU Chico with a BA in Spanish. Currently I am a Project Lead the Way Lead Teacher and a member of the FCUSD Stem Leadership Team. STEM education is a very effective tool to deliver the above-mentioned skills and help create the leaders of tomorrow.
