Welcome!My name is Jill Mattingly, and I thrive on inspiring educators and students to explore new books and technology. I seek opportunities for students to connect with their community and bring authentic learning to the classroom. I believe that the most significant impact I can have on my students is to teach them to lead by example within their community. When students learn to show care for everyone around them, they realize the impact a small piece can have on the larger whole. In turn, showing care helps people develop a sense of belonging and unity. If students can feel connected to their community, they become team players and collaborators with a common goal. If we can teach students to see themselves as part of a team, they will feel empowered to create and share their diverse gifts, which can lead to a healthier and more vibrant society.
