Rochester Public Schools -

Paula Winter teaches 1st and 2nd grade and has loved every bit about working at MNSync Online.

"As an educator in the online K-2 elementary school setting, I am continually amazed by the strength of the relationships we build with both students and their families. The online format allows me to truly know each student as a person, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs. Families are not only welcomed but encouraged to be actively involved in their child's education, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment.

One of the standout features of our program is the ability to implement effective differentiation. Because I know my students well, I can ensure that every learner's individual needs are met, creating a personalized and enriching educational experience. The flexibility and adaptability of the online platform allow for strong differentiation opportunities. 

Teaching in a multi-age classroom is a unique and rewarding experience. I have had the privilege of working with my students for two years, allowing us to develop deep, meaningful connections. These strong relationships are the cornerstone of our success, contributing to a nurturing and engaging learning environment.

Our program also strongly focuses on meeting national math and reading grade-level standards. This ensures that our students receive personalized instruction and achieve the critical academic benchmarks needed for their continued educational success.

Overall, the combination of strong relationships, active family involvement, personalized instruction, and a focus on national standards makes our online K-2 elementary school an exceptional place for young learners to thrive."
