Hello, Taniqua and Beyond Borders! My name is Anna, and I am a former arts education teacher from Chicago Public Schools (and other educational groups). At CPS, I created and taught my own curriculum for children ages 4-16, but primarily 4-10. Currently, I am a full-time freelance writer, with 12+ years of experience.
I'd love to have the opportunity to share my ideas about curricula with you. As an arts educator, I often chose a topic (perhaps an animal, foreign country, food, or even something like "happiness") and created just the kind of multi-dimensional lessons you describe. I generally included word and number lessons, physical activities, and a take-home component. I did not follow a specific school of educational theory but combined a lot of research to make something unique for my young students.
As an arts administrator, I also learned to prepare materials that other educators can easily use and understand. (This is a skill of its own, I think!)
Please feel free to read my reviews (and profile). I work mostly elsewhere, but the reviews here will show you that my clients are always thrilled with my work. I think you will be, too. I always go the extra mile to give satisfaction, because I love my work!
Hopefully you’ll reach out through chat so we can discuss your project in detail and figure out if I might be a good fit.
Thank you for considering me!
Anna
