About Me

I am a teacher.  I teach first grade at the American Academy of Casablanca.  Previously, I taught Technology Skills and Writing at Harmony Leland Elementary School.  Before that, I taught Third Grade at the same school for four years.    As a teacher, I focus on project based, differentiated, brain based learning.

I am a curriculum designer.  All teachers create resources, but as a teacher, this has always been a strength of mine.  After enough colleagues asked me for copies of my resources, I decided to do my Master’s in Curriculum and Instructional Design.  This has helped me grow as a teacher and as a designer.  All of my resources are now for sale on the website: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Heidi-Raki.

I am also a wife and a mother. My husband, Khalil is my partner – in life and business.  He helps me to run Raki’s Rad Resources and creates resources in Spanish & French.  Together, we have three amazing sons: Khalil, Zaiyd and Samir.  Our family is currently in Morocco,so  I am also  a language learner, an explorer of new sights and sounds, a person learning how to live in a new culture.
