I am Ruqayya Siddiqi, a Montessori-trained directress at our public school, and I am writing to explore a potential collaboration opportunity.
As an educator teaching with passion, I have found great success in engaging my students through a variety of lively techniques, both in the classroom and in my online lessons. My students thoroughly enjoy these dynamic learning experiences, and I believe they could benefit greatly with best practices and resources.
I could exchange ideas on effective strategies, co-create engaging lessons, or even team up to deliver joint online sessions.
