038: Episode 18 - Khadijah Tou Tou
SkyGems Academy Podcast 18th speaker is Khadijah Tou Tou. She is better known as Tou Tou.
Tou Tou has been in the education industry for more than 12 years. She started at 16 years old during her High School days, working part time as a Montessori Teacher. She has experience teaching ESL in training schools to both children and adults, created reader’s theatre drama workshops to middle school students and hosts various mental health workshops. She is currently an IB PYP Teacher and Student Representative Council Advisor at Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School (WFLPS).
Tou Tou is mostly known for her enthusiasm and optimistic attitude in the classroom. Implementing agency is an important practice in her pedagogy because it encourages independent inquiry and self efficacy. She believes her greatest asset in teaching are her relationships with her students, parents and co teacher. She suggests that education should be taken from an, “It Takes A Village” perspective. Tou Tou also loves to participate in Professional Development (PD) opportunities, where she takes full advantage of networking. Her latest PD was at Harvard University where she gained a certificate in, “Teaching Students to Ask Their Own Questions.” She knows the greater she can expand her own mind, she will be able to teach her students how to do the same.
Tou Tou is passionate about Diversity and Inclusion within the education system and her works outside of school are reflective of that. She is the host of the podcast “In Trance”, a producer and screenwriter for playwrights, an author, a Reiki Healer, a Gifted Speaker, an Improvisation Artist and a Singer with the voice of an angel. I quote and unquote Tou Tou “What can I say? I love the arts!”
“I think it was a great awakening. Because during this pandemic, there are problems, your leaders start to come out. That's where your innovators start to come out because they're solution based, right? So because of that, I think it requires us to be everything that we ask our students to be," said Tou Tou.
Now, we are pleased to introduce to you and present to you … Khadijah Tou Tou.
