Experience Summary
My BS is in Social Work and my MAT is in Elementary Education. Through my experience as a teacher, social worker and coach I have found my passion in educating children. Teaching in a Title I classroom I specialized in working with students in need of additional help in Math and Reading.
I am trained in DIBELS, Wilson, and Read Naturally. DIBELS is an assessment to show if students are on grade level. Wilson is a reading program that aids students in fluency. Read Naturally's focus is fluency, vocabulary and phonics.
In Math I worked with skill groups. The students were divided into specific groups depending on the student’s weakness in a particular area of Math. Some students may need new strategies or repetition.
Teaching Style
I love teaching and want to make a difference in my student's lives! I am a firm believer that every student has their own individual way of learning. Some students are visual learners, while others are auditory or kinesthetic learners. Knowing the learning styles and interests of each student leads them to success with academics.
I believe in an authoritative teaching style. I set the rules and expectations, but believe in building a trusting relationship. I am dedicated teacher that is patient, caring, and creative. I would love to help your student find success.
