Michele Maxson

Elementary/Middle School Math Teacher

At WES Since: 2024

How do you foster your students’ love of learning and curiosity?
I want my students to be inquisitive problem-solvers who discover new ways to analyze complex puzzles, so I encourage them to make mistakes, take risks, and have fun! My classroom is a dynamic environment with opportunities for hands-on inquiry, discovery, and reflection.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Flying! I’d love to soar with the birds and explore unseen places around the world.
