Meet educator Jordanna Maga, 2019 Teacher of the Year, American Samoa

Meet educator Jordanna Maga, the 2019 Teacher of the Year for american Samoa. Teaching has helped her to realize that young adult and adolescents respond with enthusiasm and excitement to activities that they are familiar with. One of her students requested to do a video presentation instead of standing up and talking to his classmates. By allowing the student to showcase a video, this chalkboard champion allowed him to show his skills in other areas, especially technology. Jordanna says that this experience changed the way she does things in the classroom. She gives the students freedom to present in their preferred avenue to show that they understand the lesson.
