Experience Summary
I graduated in 1984 from CSUF with a Bachelor in Music Education and my emphasis was piano. I took piano lessons from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as a child and progressed this into my college years. I tutored adults in piano while studing for my bachelors. I learned that I enjoyed teaching younger students in private lessons. After my degree, I moved back to San Francisco and began to teach young children in their homes. Life took a twist, I got married and moved to another state, had two children who are grown now. I loved to teach so I recieved my early childhood education credential and taught pre-k and even Kindergarten for many years.
Teaching Style
I think children should be taught to respect eachother before beginning any type of curriculum and to practice safety habits as well as learn their surroundings then the teaching begins. I integrate the them across the curriculum, incorporating the major domains of language and literacy, mathematics, science the arts, phsical development, and personl social development. I believe children love structure and need structure to know what they need to accomplish and have a sense of direction.
