Laura, PYP and History and Philosophy Teacher at Kinder International School, is a passionate and attentive teacher. She has built a career centered on communication and mutual growth. In this interview, she shares her vision of teaching in an international school, the challenges and rewards of connecting different cultures, and her dream of an education that goes beyond school boundaries.
A passion that becomes a career: the bond between teacher and students
For Laura, the choice of career was driven by a deep passion for working with students. “The pleasure I feel in creating a dialogue with my students and the wonder of seeing them grow” are what inspire her every day to improve and find new ways to stimulate their learning.
Teaching in the time of DAD: a lesson in flexibility
During the period of distance learning (DAD), Laura experienced a moment of deep professional reflection. “It helped me understand how useful it is to remain flexible and proactive,” she says. This period of adjustment has allowed her to discover new ways of interacting and to face challenges with greater openness.
Connecting the world: the richness of cultural diversity
The most rewarding aspect of Laura’s work in an international school is the opportunity to learn about the experiences of students from different parts of the world. “Connecting different cultures” is an inexhaustible source of enrichment for her, allowing students to broaden their horizons and better understand the world around them.
A dream for the school: broadening educational horizons
If she could realize a dream for her school, Laura would like to see it continue its curriculum beyond high school. “I would like my school to continue its journey beyond high school,” she explains, envisioning an institution capable of offering continuous and increasingly comprehensive education.
Laura’s message for the school community: share knowledge
Laura hopes to leave a contribution that goes beyond the teaching of individual subjects. Her message is clear: “Let’s learn to collaborate with ever greater connection, to allow children to understand that there is only one great knowledge.” She firmly believes that the true strength of education lies in the ability to unite people in a shared and collective learning journey.
