Regn Around
the World
Hello!! Welcome :) I’m so happy you’re here!
My name is Sarah and I am a K-6 New Jersey Public School Educator and I truly love my job. I have an Elementary/Special Education background and I currently serve as a Multilingual Learner teacher…my kids are simply the best. I mean it when I say it is a gift to be their teacher and know their families and community.
I am still very early in my teaching career; however, my life goal is to continue to figure out ways to serve various communities around the world and build global connections with lasting impacts.
Teach
In the photo above I am teaching in Bali, Indonesia with my mentor and friend Yuta who is the creater and founder of Mangrove Education, a non-profit that provides free, equitable education and professional development to teachers!
Learn
An incredible opportunity I had learning from and mentoring over 130 TechGirls from 35+ countries as they spent a summer in the U.S. learning about Women in STEM.
Travel
What an honor it is to travel. Here I am traveling and hiking with one of the many incredible families I met and connected with in Taiwan. Here we are on top of Hehuan North Peak!
“Your teaching license is the best passport you hold for the world”
While I was living and teaching in Taiwan, a colleague told me “your teaching license is the best passport you hold for the world”. At the time, I didn’t realize the value or truth of those words, but today I think I know what he meant. Everywhere in the world, particularly now more than ever, there is a dire need for connection, empathy, and good teachers. My hope is that fellow educators, community members, and parents and family members can use this website as a place for resources, information, and other strategies to support their children at home and in school to gain a deeper understanding of the world as global citizens.
In my eyes, global education starts on a local level. It starts with us acknowledging that individuals have a responsibility to take action and be change agents. Global education is learning how to listen. Listening to multiple perspectives, listening to understand, and listening to grow in empathy. Global education is respect. Respect for our environment, respect for leaders and followers, and respect for our communities. Global education does not require more money, resources, or some heroic act. Global education simply needs you with a willingness and urgency to introduce your students to the power we receive when we open ourselves to connection with others. Global education needs someone like YOU to lead the conversation!
So go grab your passport, I mean teaching license, and come join the movement…building bridges, connecting lives, and creating spaces where every child’s needs can be met.
Learning about Peru’s Educational System
Awarded a 2024-2025 Fulbright for Global Classrooms Program grant to grow as a global educator and learn about Peru’s classrooms.
Living and Teaching in Taiwan
As a 2018-2019 Fulbright ETA Taiwan award recipient, I lived and taught English in Kinmen, Taiwan which inspired my passion for working with multilingual learners today.
Hiking the Camino de Santiago
When I was 22, I dreamed about hiking the Camino de Santiago. At 30, I grabbed my backpack and started my 32 day hike.
In the classroom you are the weather. You control the climate. How you show up in the space each day holds a lasting impression on your students. Know your impact.
