Who is Miss Cheska?

Hello reader! My name is Cheska Lorena;  I am a first-year science teacher, ed-tech enthusiast, and lover of desserts. Currently I live in upstate New York, where I enjoy the seasons with my family and teach at an all-girls urban middle school.

My teaching credentials include a BSEd in  Biological Sciences, an MSEd in Curriculum and Instruction, and certification in Instructional Technology. Several of my professional interests include differentiated science instruction and assessment, teacher technology use and integration, and  use of social media in education.

“Cheska’s commitment and conscientiousness are of the highest order. Her persona seems tireless and is sustained by her love and enjoyment for the educational endeavor and for those with whom she associates.” – Graduate Professor, The College of Saint Rose, Albany, New York

What is this blog for?

This blog initially served as part of an online showcase portfolio of pre-service teaching artifacts. Over time, it has transformed into a private space where I reflect on my experiences and growth as a teacher, connect with, and share teaching materials and resources with other educators.

What does the title mean?

I believe that there is always something to learn. We teach and we learn, we learn and we teach.
