Brooke Waldron knew that she would work with kids from a young age. She is very passionate about teaching to each individual child. She has been teaching for 12 years using the Montessori philosophy and uses this method in her home as well as school. Brooke is certified in NAMC Upper Elementary and also holds certification in Lindamood Bell Dyslexia Training. During the summer Brooke works with students with Down Syndrome and Autism. Brooke has toured the Acton Academy model in Austin, Texas and has spent a summer training under Kaylee Reid who is known for her expertise in Project Based Learning. She was able to implement this training in a private school that she helped start. During her time at Idea Academy, Brooke organized week-long educational trips for her class to Yellowstone and Catalina Island Marine Institute. She facilitated and supported  her students in raising their own money for these trips. She is very excited to be part of Ignite and can’t wait to start the new year!
