Becca Cain

In my classroom, I strive to create a sense of community where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and express their ideas. By building strong relationships and fostering a nurturing environment, I help students develop both academic skills and essential social-emotional skills like empathy, resilience, and collaboration.
