Experience Summary
I have extensive experience in the field of education. Having secured a BA in History and a BS in Political Science in 1996, I have served in the capacity of both a school administrator and teacher. I have taught primarily grades 5-8 in the discipline of social sciences; however, I have also taught and tutored students from Pre-K through the collegiate level. I also possess a Master's Degree in Education, as well as a Master's Degree in Management. I currently hold Florida Teacher Certification in Social Sciences, Grades 5-9. My certification expires on June 30, 2020. In my capacity as a teacher, I have taught in all subject areas; including: reading, grammar/composition, social studies, science, and mathematics.
Teaching Style
I have been a teacher for more than twenty years and believe that all students can learn. I further believe it is my professional responsibility as a teacher to provide my students with the following: * an environment conducive to learning, * knowledge that will help the student be successful in achieving their lives’ goals, * materials, opportunities, and feedback that will help them learn, and * help in becoming and remaining motivated to think critically and creatively and to link lessons to their personal lives.
