WELCOME!
My name is Andy Leon-Ramos, welcome to my teaching portfolio.
​
A little about me: I’m an early childhood educator and musician. I am currently living in Los Angeles but was born in Mexico and moved around quite a bit growing up, instilling in me a love for language, music, people, and beginnings.
I’m a firm believer in the importance of play and joy in learning. I have seen how nurturing curiosity, using storytelling and letting questions take the lead can create stronger connections and powerful waves of learning. I also believe that academic education can and should hold hands with empathy, compassion and a willingness to imagine.
​
Take a look around my portfolio and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
My teaching practice uses an engaging curriculum to stoke the fire of curiosity and encourage creativity. I aim to inspire compassion, activism & a love for learning that continues beyond the four walls of the classroom.
I believe that an educator's role is to guide students through their learning and cultivate their unique strengths all while staying open to adaptation and feedback. I think there's always room for mess and joy in the classroom, that we grow from our mistakes, and that we are never done learning.
