Intro

Hello all,

My name is Amanda Mattei and I am in the Elementary General and Special Education program. I am a little over halfway done with my masters. I just finished 2 years of being an assistant teacher at an all boys' independent school in Manhattan, and I will be a 3rd grade head teacher at a different all boys' independent school this fall! In the past two years, I have created many social studies "units," which is how the school that I work at frames their social studies curriculum.

I am really looking forward to this course, however, I am very nervous about taking an online course. I am already overwhelmed, but I am happy to see that some of your names are familiar to me from other classes!

I look forward to working with you, and please, if anyone has any tips as to how they are organizing themselves for this online course, feel free to send your advice my way!

  1. Hi Amanda,
    There are so many 2 and 3rd grade teachers in this class! Make sure to read through the comments and exchange some ideas with them to get a sense of who you might want to team up with.
    I'm glad you have experience teaching and with soc. studies, that will put you in a good place for what we will be working on in June.
    It's nice to meet you!
