36. Finding Your Authentic Self with Stephanie Carbonneau

<p>Stephanie Carbonneau loves to learn and that's evident in her eclectic approach to teaching. &nbsp;As the school year gets started, she's been thinking about how she can rely on her strengths so she can focus on learning and growing her teaching. She states, "There is no mold for a perfect teacher. Imposter Syndrome is REAL. Teacher should do more of what they are good at and less of what they are not." So she keeps her trusty teacher tool box handy as she tries out new things and adapts them for herself and her students. Stephanie also talks about her goal for this year: taking time off of presenting in order to focus on learning. &nbsp;As a result, she is growing as a teacher and accepting only those activities that are authentically her. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Bio: &nbsp;Stephanie Carbonneau, a middle school French teacher from Maine, has a Masters degree in Teaching Languages. She is known for her “Glow and Grow” approach to language learning in a mostly deskless environment that focuses on interactive communicative lessons, using authentic resources with CI strategies.
