Hi, I’m Mrs. Prabhakar,

I am very excited to be your child’s teacher this year. We are going to learn so many things together. This is my 9^th year teaching at Chicago World Language Academy. Previously I have substitutes at CPS schools and taught middle school science and math in the suburbs of Chicago. I have also worked for a few companies as a content specialist in the assessment field, traveling to different states and meeting with the department of education.

I am very passionate about teaching science and I love using technology as much as I can.

During the class, I will teach students many new skills as well as reinforce skills that students already have, including…

• Using the Engineering Design Process
• Reading and outlining informational text
• Using critical thinking skills 
• Problem solving
• Using technology and google applied skills 

In order to master the skills above  I will be using a variety of teaching strategies including... 

• Attending lectures and note taking
• Activities and simulations
• Science notebook writing
• Group learning
• Solo in class assignments
• Media presentations 
• Internet activities 
• Slideshow presentation
• Projects
• Oral presentations

I am married with two children that are twins in 12^th grade. My children previously attended Chicago World Academy, so my connection with this school is from as a teacher and parent. We love to travel as a family. We have traveled to many places in to many places in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

I am excited for a great year!!

Sincerely, Mrs. Prabhakar
