Experience Summary
I have taught 1st through 4th grades in both Title 1 and nonTitle 1 public schools. I have training in several programs including Reading Recovery and Read to Achieve. I am well-versed in the common core curriculum and have led parental support sessions on how to help children using these new strategies. I have chaired my school's improvement team and have served on the Teacher Advisory Council. I am trained in facilitative leadership and have also worked with preschool aged children during a hiatus from teaching during which I opened, owned, and directed a large child development center.
Teaching Style
I adjust my teaching style to meet the learning needs and styles of my students. I incorporate students' individual interests often and am not afraid to share my sense of humor. I am flexible and calm and always strive to put each child at ease while helping them experience success.
