Experience Summary
I am a certified teacher with experience in a variety of settings, including inclusion classrooms, self-contained classrooms, small class pull-out instruction models and charter school settings. It is my personal belief that all students can learn and will be successful. Some students need specialized instruction in strategies to help them to experience a higher level of achievement. Many of my students have developed a deeper appreciation of their accomplishments in the smaller settings where they feel more comfortable asking questions and getting the assistance required to master a task.
Teaching Style
A fun, welcoming environment are the core concepts of my teaching style. My goal is to continually check for understanding and mastery before moving on to the next topic or area of study. I enjoy student interaction with other students as well as with myself. I am continually updating my skills through training and practice to enhance the education of my students. When I find that a particular style is not meeting the needs of my students, I search for and alter my teaching to make sure my students understand the material. I find that teaching to the different modalities is key to my success.
