About Ms. Elliott
Hello! Here's a little about me. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!
I am a Raleigh native, but I love to travel! I earned a Bachelors of Science in Engineering. I worked as an engineer for a while until I discovered my passion for helping students learn! I went back to college to earn my Masters in Education.
The 2021-22 school year is my 14th year teaching, but I have been working in schools in different capacities for 22 years. I have taught students of all ages, from kindergarten to college, in public, private, and charter schools. Math, engineering, problem solving, and technology are my passions. Before joining the Magellan family, I was the chair of a 1:1 technology committee, and I helped pioneer the Bring Your Own Technology initiative at my former schools. I love learning new ways to integrate technology into my classroom.
Mathematics is a subject that requires concentration, practice, organization, risk-taking, and confidence. Students need a solid foundation of skills in order to be successful with future mathematics concepts. They also need perseverance to overcome mistakes and learn from them. This year, students will strengthen the computation, application, and problem solving skills that will prepare them for their futures in mathematics and life beyond the classroom. I look forward to working with you!

My Teaching Philosophy
My goal is to inspire a love of learning in each of my students and to help them become independent, resourceful learners. I believe that the process of solving a problem is as important as the answer. For this reason, I want students to grapple with problems, have math debates, and think beyond the answers. The relationships that we build in our classroom enable us to create a learning community where we all feel confident to try new ideas, collaborate, and explore. Every child is different, and we celebrate that diversity in our classroom. I use data and observation to evaluate, then differentiate my lessons and pace so that each student experiences growth.
