Hi, I'm Tim by Tim Garde https://padlet.com/timothytsi/cdlintro A bit about me en-us 2022-05-31 05:43:21 UTC 2025-11-05 19:02:34 UTC hello@padlet.com timothytsi https://padlet.com/timothytsi/cdlintro/wish/2206536422
My name is Timothy Garde, but I almost always go by Tim.
My preferred pronouns are ‘he/him’, but ‘they’ would work well, too.

I just finished my student teaching at a high school at an APS school in east Aurora (Vista Peak), where I taught geography and ethnic studies as a long-term substitute when a teacher in the social studies department left about a month into my student-teaching there.]]> 2022-05-31 19:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/timothytsi/cdlintro/wish/2206538519 timothytsi https://padlet.com/timothytsi/cdlintro/wish/2206539566 Between birth children and step children, I have 5 kids, with one on the way. They’re a big source of my motivation to teach, and have taught me a lot to help make me more comfortable in the classroom. It was fun teaching HS freshmen this year, as my oldest is the same age.

I’m into basketball, and hope to coach once I’ve gotten myself relatively comfortable teaching somewhere. I’m also very into music, and play drums, but would like to learn guitar or piano.]]> 2022-05-31 19:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/timothytsi/cdlintro/wish/2206539566 timothytsi https://padlet.com/timothytsi/cdlintro/wish/2206545266
I’m hoping to learn strategies to differentiate assignments for CLD students, as well as how to better create assignments and lessons that will be universally better for CLD students and first-language English learners, alike.

I have not had any other class with Dr. Chavez, but am looking forward to what I can learn from her here.]]> 2022-05-31 19:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/timothytsi/cdlintro/wish/2206545266
