About
Tracy Lorensen’s Biography
I was a preschool/kindergarten teacher in Thailand at Good Kids Preschool for 3 years. The school had a Montessori and Singaporean education approach. At the school I led in circle time, teaching English, reading, math and more. My experiences were greatly enriched with co-teaching and collaborating with Thai staff. Also I had the opportunity to travel to Singapore to learn from their preschools.
I started a baking program for a rural Elementary school in Thailand. I taught all grade levels on how to bake, use math, and their communication skills to sell our delicious baked goods afterschool. This opportunity helped me to stretch myself in my leadership and teaching skills.
During the pandemic I returned to the USA, and I was a nanny. I got to know Durham by strolling the streets, and visiting parks. It was a delight to return to the slow life of infant care.
A few random things about me, I love all things vintage. I enjoy learning about mushrooms and foraging for them. I read books often, and I like to discuss them in book clubs.
I am excited to join the ECA team, and to be back in the classroom.
