Virtual Teaching: Creating a Safe and Welcoming Space for Students with Alexandra McCarty

Alexandra McCarty, Miss Alex, has worked as an independent S.T.E.A.M. and art teacher for 8 years, serving up fun, hands-on learning experiences to preschool through middle school learners online and in-person. She is a homeschool parent of nearly 10 years. runs a local secular homeschooling group, and serves on the board of her local library (because libraries ROCK!). She is an eclectic teacher and prefers to view herself as a facilitator and co-learner with her students. As an ADHD parent to neurodiverse children, Alex strives to make learning a positive, inviting experience for all of her students. She is most interested in fostering a sense of wonder and excitement about the world around us and hopes that each student leaves knowing a little something new and ready to keep asking questions and exploring this amazing planet.
This episode is full of tips and tricks on how to create a safe and welcoming space for your students, how to be yourself to be a great teacher, and even how to end the class when they just don’t want to leave! You can truly see how much Alex loves what she does so tune in to catch her excitement.

I’m looking forward to discussing flex (pre-recorded) courses, conducting interviews with other virtual teachers, and anything else you may suggest as topics you want to learn more about during Season 2. DM me if you have a suggestion or are interested in chatting.

Building a community of coworkers is a goal of mine so what better way to do that than to start introducing you to others who we can learn from?
