Kelly Moroco
Andover,MA
Summary
My name is Kelly Moroco, and I am an educator. Having received my teacher training from Boston University, my teaching philosophy is focused on providing students with a culturally responsive education that also meets their social emotional learning needs. This is an important foundation for students to have so that they can enter the classroom feeling supported and seen and therefore ready to learn. Accompanied by a firm command of curriculum and standards as well as student-led practices creates an unstoppable student- centered environment that optimizes learning. This is my goal as an educator, and I believe that I have consistently created this environment in my classroom.
