Experience Summary
I have been teaching since 2004, after graduating with a degree in Elementary Education. I started my first year in a 4th grade classroom. It was a wonderful learning and growing experience. Then I moved on to Middle School, 8th grade Intensive Math to be exact. I always taught the older students for their level in both the 4th grade and the 8th grade, and I found it challenging but great to find ways to keep them motivated on a daily basis. From there, I moved to my current position and I will be in this position for a long time. I work as the High School Intensive Reading Teacher. I love to teach reading to the students who do not know the basics and you move them up in grade level, in order to pass the FCAT! When they pass the FCAT it is so rewarding!
Teaching Style
I love teaching children of all ages. I live especially to teach reading! I have been able to motivate my most unmotivated students. The students I have in class are the last resort students before dropping out. I am their last chance! I do the best I can everyday to keep them engaged and feel the sense that they are learning something. I do oral as well as hands-on presentations.
