Experience Summary
For the last 23 years, I have educated elementary, middle, high school and adult students in all subject areas. I also served as a Language Arts Tracher/Trainer in the U.S. Peace Corps. As a special educator, I taught students with behavior problems and learning disabilities. My service in education has compelled me to develop a strong sense of compassion for educating individuals, by providing them with the encouragement to boost their desire for learning, as well as tools for acquiring success.
Teaching Style
Having taught, elementary, middle, high school, and adults; I have discovered that learning can and will take place. The type of learning that needs to take place depends on the type of teaching that is facilitated. Without teaching; guided, organized, purposeful matriculation in an environment–laden with material and visual information intended to enhance and frame an individual’s knowledge and skill set; the type of learning we desire, will not occur. What and how we determine to be the most effective methods in addressing the academic, social and emotional needs of our students, will be reflected in our teaching.
