Experience Summary
During all of my years of high school and college, I was very motivated and always strive to do my best. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education where my major is Math and minor is Science. Being an Elementary Education graduate, I have experience in all different academic areas, as well as experience in effective teaching methods and strategies. Also, I really enjoy Math and Science and have knowledge in many areas of those two subjects. After my student teaching, I was a substitute teacher for grades K-12 for about a year before I moved to Florida.
Teaching Style
Teaching is one of my biggest passions. My student teaching experience in a second grade classroom was the most memorable experience I had during my years in college. I believe that all children have different ways of learning and I feel that I can meet the needs of every child. Since all children learn differently, I feel that I have to adjust my lessons according to their needs. Examples of effective teaching methods that I enjoy using are: teaching by example, movies, music, art, visual aids, role play, games, activities, experiments, modeling, technology, and manipulatives. No matter what, I try to relate the topic being taught to the real world and I always try to make learning as fun as possible! =)
