Experience Summary
I hold a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, TESOL Certificate, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, Elementary Education. I have taught elementary, university composition, and working adult students. I have also participated in and implemented Student Study Team plans and Individual Educational Program plans. Lastly, I possess various computer skills using MAC and Windows operating systems, MS Office Suite, and Adobe applications. As a competent, enthusiastic, and experienced educator, I will use my expertise in multiple-subject curriculum adaptation, English Language Development, and technology to help students strive for success and reach their academic goals.
Teaching Style
The foundation of my philosophical approach to teaching is that every student can learn. With that theory in mind, practice in the field of teaching has also shown me that actual acquisition of knowledge is a direct function of teacher effectiveness, student motivation, and student support. My style of teaching can best be described as student-centered. Every student learns differently. It is the teacher's responsibility to: 1. Adapt curriculum and lesson planning to the individual needs of all students; 2. Use student assessment as a guide to assessing teacher effectiveness; and 3. Evaluate teaching methods to find ways to re-teach the content.
