Hi there! My name is Natalie Abber (she/her) and I have been teaching 4th grade for five years in Oakland, CA. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UC Berkeley in 2018 and earned a Master's in Education from Johns Hopkins University. Additionally, I taught ESL in Taiwan as a Fulbright Scholar from 2018-2019. I am a lead teacher at my school site in East Oakland and am the director of our free after school art program.
In my practice, I engage learners through a student-centered, hands-on, creative, and culturally responsive approach. I believe that learning should always be fun, meaningful, and assets-based; I love to forge innovative pathways t
