"Hi there,

My name is Jaime Paterson and I am a passionate and experienced educator. I have always had a passion for teaching and I believe that learning can happen anywhere, anytime, about anything. A good teacher can marry the interests, curiosities, and aspirations of their students with challenging, developmentally-appropriate, and scaffolded opportunities for assimilation of new knowledge.

A good teacher is also one that makes their students feel respected and valued. As an educator, I prioritize the wellbeing of my students and truly honor the background, experiences, feelings, needs, and gifts of each child.

I have experience in multi-leveled classrooms, and have taught students from preK to High School. I have always designed my own curriculum and lesson plans and am comfortable differentiation for different levels. I would love to collaborate with your family and the school to create a custom curriculum for each child." less...
