About Me
Hello! My name is Heidi Chalela and I am a kindergarten teacher at Plato Academy Tampa Campus. Not only do I believe that every child can learn, I also strongly believe that every child can learn to ENJOY learning. It is so wonderful to see a child get that, "Ah HA!" look on their face when a connection is finally made. It gives me such satisfaction and happiness to watch children blossom and grow. Teaching is my calling in life and there is nothing else I would ever want to do.
My ClassroomI consider myself a facilitator. I am a big believer in promoting self-learning by helping students develop critical learning skills. Rather than "telling" students information all the time, I prefer to have students come across the answers through their own observations or from drawing on previous experience. My primary goal is to have my kindergarten students become life long thinkers who know how to question the world around them rather than take it at face value.
