Experience Summary
I began teaching in 1998. My previous job was taken away by forces of nature. I had taken advantage of the Military Troops to Teachers Program with no clear pathway to practice. Until I found myself with a possibility of unemployment.
I I applied at a correctional facility and I was hired over the next week. Hence my introduction to the classroom and the world of academia. Over the next five years I was fortunate enough to teach both classroom and computer lab, loving the challenges and accomplishments more and more everyday. My students were adult learners whom appreciated accomplishing life goals.
I continued educating over the next seven years with results that were uplifting and inspirational. Teaching requires a heart.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is a type of facilitator approach. I realize the with every classroom there is middle level of learners the same as lower and higher achievers.
My goal becomes aimed at the middle with reserves and encouragement for the lower as well as higher students.I often try ro challenge the classroom wholly and getting to know my students individually. This is key.
My goal should be shared by my student instead of mowed over by it. Together we learn not individually.
