Question
how we teach kids?

Answer
Dear Arwa,

I'm trying really hard to take this question seriously.  It's not easy.  I have a M.Ed and have taken courses that are the equivalent of a second Master's Degree in education!  I have over 30 years of teaching experience!  There is no way to put the answer to that question in a forum such as this.

If you can narrow your focus, I will try to answer your question - but it will have to be VERY narrow.  If you really are serious and want to get the LONG answer, I suggest you attend a university that trains teachers.

Expertise

I can answer questions about reading at all levels, English as a Second Language, elementary math, science and social studies as well as general education matters. Individuals interested in teaching in international schools can contact me for information on how to begin the process of looking for jobs overseas.

Experience

I have been teaching for 30 years with a MEd in Reading and Language Arts, a BA in Elementary Education. For 6 years I taught computer to grades K-8. I have taught in combined grades (K-2 and 2-3 splits)in the US and overseas. The bulk of my elementary experience is in second and third grades, although I've taught K, 1, 2, 3 and 5 as a self-contained experience. Twenty-two years of my experience teaching has been in international schools in Africa and Asia.
