Staff Profile: Rosamay Conejos

Works with Students in Grades:

K-12

Educational Philosophy:

Lifelong learning happens when the children are engaged and challenged in an environment where they feel the safest and most comfortable. A supportive and welcoming community also plays a key role in developing the whole child as an extension of the home learning environment. With a child-led, trauma-informed approach to authentic learning, a personalized and flexible learning plan meets learners where they are. It sets them up for academic success and cultivates social-emotional learning with opportunities tailored to their unique learning profile.           

Educational Interests:

As a parent of twice-exceptional children, I highly value inclusive, equitable education and affirm neurodiversity. In my teaching practice, I follow the principles of UDL (Universal Design for Learning) and Differentiated Instruction to help support each learner's unique human needs.

Instructional Specialties

Although my primary degree is in Secondary Education - English, I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Inclusive Education (Special Education), and I would love to work with and learn from children with neurodivergence. Earlier in my teaching career, I received my Postgraduate Diploma in English Language Teaching, ECE (and Inclusive Child Care) Diploma, and my AMI Montessori Diploma.

Areas I Do Not Cover:

I do not teach Pre-Calculus, Calculus or Statistics.  Students are paired with one of our specialist teachers for these subjects.

Communication Style Preference:

I prefer email but can also accommodate occasional phone or video calls.

Hours of Availability:

As I try to find the elusive work-life balance, I “try” to stick to a Monday - Friday work schedule.
