This portfolio began as a project with Arizona State University during my teacher certification studies, it has sections with samples lesson plans and micro lesson demonstrations. I have continued this project as I became a professor and it became a good platform to share content with my students in an organized way.

As we work with children in early childhood, we teach children structure, habits, routines and discipline. There are moments within that structure that children need freedom and time to explore their own creative minds and unique problem solving skills. Each child is unique and unrepeatable. Their ability for deep, original thought is unlimited and unknown. As we teach children it is important to not forget the possibility of cultivating creativity. After all, how can our students change the world without their own creative streak of original thought?
