About
Asad...
Hello! I am excited to be a part of the third grade team at WGA, and can't wait to meet you on this adventure.
My Education and Professional Background
I graduated from Bowling Green University in 1995 with a double major in Creative Writing and Multicultural English Literature. I earned my K-8 teaching certification in 2001, and began my teaching career that year in the Kyrene School District. I joined CUSD in 2016. I have enjoyed teaching at CTA Independence for the last five years, including this pandemic year teaching CTA students with Chandler Online Academy. I am a reader and a lifelong learner--always taking classes to further my education.
My Educational Philosophy
I have been lucky enough to teach in both traditional models and inquiry-based learning schools. My experiences have been as close as the Gila River Indian Community, and as far away as Abu Dhabi, UAE. But no matter where I have taught, my specialty and passion have always been in the outliers--students who qualify as gifted, students who speak English as a second language, students who need accessibility services, and students who struggle to be heard. I love students’ stories and believe that the best way to teach is to connect. It is my goal to connect with each and every one of my students and to help them to reach their full potential.
