My name is Mrs. Nichols. I live in Algona with my husband, Ty, and our son, Zackary. We also have a black lab, Gauge. I enjoy spending time with my family/friends, being outdoors, staying physically active and spending time at our lake home at Lost Island Lake.
​
I view myself as a facilitator of learning. I am a teacher who does not operate under the traditional concept of teaching. I believe teachers are meant to guide and assist students in learning for themselves by picking apart ideas, forming their own thoughts, and owning material through self-exploration and dialogue.
​
Facilitating means to design the learning experience, i.e. how students would interact with the content. Facilitating is very student-centered and is focused on learning. Teaching is more focused on delivery of content by the teacher.
