One important professional ethic that I want to always live by is the dedication to being student centered. This means putting the needs and growth of students first. Student-centered teachers focus on each student's strengths, interests, and how they learn best. Therefore, I want to create a welcoming classroom where all students feel respected and encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas. I want to listen carefully, provide helpful feedback, and promote teamwork. By being student-centered, I want to inspire a love for learning and help students become independent thinkers who can solve problems and contribute to society.

Hello! I'm Lorena and I live in the beautiful island of Bermuda. I started teaching English as a foreign language in 2018. Since then, I have had students from Korea, Japan, China and now Bermuda. I have since moved from online teaching to in-person teaching as a substitute teacher. I hope to become a classroom teacher during the next school year. Check out my work on this page!

During our morning meeting at East End Primary School, I organized a fun and engaging Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) scavenger hunt for the second-grade students. Mindfulness cards were hidden all around the playground and school field. The students were divided into groups and tasked with finding the cards. Each group had to read the mindfulness activity written on the card and then practice it before moving on to find another one. To add to this excitement, the group that managed to collect the most cards would receive a small prize. Once we returned to the classroom, the students eagerly counted their cards and took turns sharing their favorite mindfulness activity. This activity not only fostered teamwork but also equipped the students with valuable breathing strategies for managing big emotions in the future. It was a wonderful way to promote self-regulation and well-being among the students.

As a future  special education teacher, I picked this article titled "Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in General Education Classrooms: Perspectives of Teachers and Administrators". It explores the thoughts and experiences of both teachers and administrators regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities in regular classrooms. By understanding their perspectives, I will be able to see the benefits and challenges associated with inclusive education. This article would give me good ideas and strategies to support successful inclusion practices.

During my program, the most significant learning challenge I encountered was integrating technology into my teaching. I had always preferred traditional methods of learning and considered computers and tablets as distractions for young learners. Additionally, I lacked confidence in my own technological skills, making it even more difficult to embrace educational technology programs.

However, as I approach the end of the program, my perspective has shifted. I have come to see the potential that educational technologies hold for my classroom. While I still believe that educators should be thoughtful in selecting technologies that best suit each student's needs, preferences, interests, and learning styles, I now recognize that carefully planned and sequenced use of technology can completely transform my teaching for the better.

Throughout the program, I have received valuable advice and insights from colleagues who teach similar grade levels. Their input has helped me overcome my technological knowledge gaps. As a result, I have started incorporating various technologies into my classes, including SEESAW, Nearpod, game-based assessment tools like Gimkit and Kahoot, Padlet, Mentimeter, and more. Students have expressed their appreciation for my continuous exploration of new programs that cater to their needs.

[Foodies in Suwon]
A group of teachers who live in the Suwon area and share a common interest in finding authentic international restaurants have gathered to explore the neighborhood after work. These are the most recent pictures of the four teachers, including myself, eating out at a Vietnamese restaurant in town. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of tasting authentic Vietnamese food and getting to know each other better outside of school.

To raise the cultural and diversity awareness of my grade 1 students, I plan to introduce them to the significance of Juneteenth. Together, we will explore the meaning of Juneteenth, its historical background, and ways we can join in celebrating this special day at our school or in our community. As part of the lesson, I will show a short video that shares interesting facts and the history behind this national holiday. To assess their understanding, the students will work in pairs and complete an exit ticket based on what they have learned.

As of now, I am strongly inclined to pursue further education in Early Childhood through Moreland University. I have observed a significant demand for Pre-K teachers in South Korea, and I am eager to gather more information from early childhood educators. I firmly believe that, similar to any other field, establishing and expanding connections with individuals who share the same passion and aspirations in education is crucial. Therefore, I would be thrilled to attend this online global conference to connect with other educators.
