Pyae Sone Kyaw

My name is Pyae Sone Kyaw (Pete). I see myself as a life-long learner, educator, International School teacher, team player, and sometimes a geek. I am a friendly and flexible person who can easily get along with other people. I have been teaching since 2007, and I am always learning and growing within my profession. I enjoy teaching multimedia technology subjects, sketchup 3D modeling, programming, computer science, and web development. I have experienced several roles in IT related fields including ICT and IB Computer Science teacher, PowerSchool system administrator, academic coordinator, system engineer, and Webmaster.

I have had a lot of experience in peer coaching, team teaching, lesson observations, curriculum development, as well as providing professional development workshops and trainings.

As an educator, I believe that education is one of the most important parts of the modern society. Education helps us to think logically, analytically, critically, and creatively when solving problems. The curriculum for students should be developed in a way that nurtures the individual learning style of each child to study things that are meaningful and relevant to one's life and interests.

Educators should act as mentors to provide the opportunities for students to share ideas, collaborate with each other, and master the skills necessary to solve problems and reach their goals in a learning environment that is safe and supports risk-taking.

For myself, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. I have fun seeing my students smile whenever they accomplished a goal, learned a new skill or successfully applied that skill in or outside of classroom activities. My ultimate goal of being an educator is to nurture each child’s learning in order to become skilled and responsible global citizens who can make the world a better place.
