Jill Silva is a Teacher at Conduit. She possess expertise in educational leadership, tesol, inquiry based learning, curriculum development, elementary education and 19 more skills. She is proficient in Spanish and Portuguese. Colleagues describe her as "Jill Silva is an extraordinary teacher! She combines humor and individual challenges to keep her 5th grade students wanting to go to school every day at Discovery School in Mansfield, Ohio. Jill rolls up her shirt-sleeves and lets the kids learn communication, leadership, and organizational skill sets far beyond the classroom in the woods behind the school. For example, under Jill, an after school class climbs, makes dens and places to hide in, create hierarchies and worlds of their own. This summer my son and other students even learned to capture water as a survival skill. Jill also heads up its International Baccalaureate program that develops the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills needed to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world. I could not ask for a better learning environment for my inspired son who is completing his final year there!"
