About Me

Experience Summary

I have been a teacher with CPS for four years. I am currently a Special Education teacher for grades K-5. I teach a caseload of 33 students ranging in abilities. I have a significant amount of experience teaching reading, math, and writing to struggling learners. In addition to working with students that have disabilities, I also have a degree in Elementary Education. I teach regular education students within my intervention groups throughout my school day. I teach with multiple strategies to best fit the needs of the learner. I also have quite a bit of experience in teaching with technology (smartboards, iPads, apple tv, doc cam, etc)

Teaching Style

I use various teaching styles within my classroom. I try to find how my student learns best and accommodate to their needs. All students learn differently, so I try to be flexible in my teaching style. I do like to make teaching as visual and hands on as I can.

My Hobbies

I enjoy being with my friends and family in my spare time. I am very excited to a relaxing summer at the lake :)

Other Comments

Teaching isn't just my job. It's my passion. I work hard every day to make a difference in my students lives. All students are capable of being successful learners.

Elementary Vocabulary Proficiency: Experienced

Also providing students with pictures and hands on information can help them make connections with new or unfamiliar words.

As a part of this I taught an intervention writing group to go through the process of writing. I teach organization, sentence structure, voice, mechanics, grammar, etc. I am able to teach students the writing process of creating a well organized piece that contains a beginning, middle, and end. I have found that using a graphic organizer (or four square writing) is a useful strategy to implement when teaching struggling writers.
