I enjoy competency based education. I teach the student how to do the task and then they have to complete a project using their skills. I have taught in higher education for 12 years both private and public schools. I have taught every Information Technology Course available. I enjoy the A+, Net+ and Microsoft office courses since they provide the foundation for the student. I believe once the student has a strong foundation, any course can be completed.

I have completed the week long training on cooperative learning at the Kagan Summer Institute. We use cooperative activities in my class daily. I have also completed Quality Schools Training with the Lee County School District. Therefore, I understand the importance of a data driven approach to teaching students. I am very active in my school. I am the chair if the rewards committee, head of my team, the girls volleyball coach, and the faculty advisor of the spirit club.

One of the truly rewarding aspects of substitute teaching is the fact that I am allowed to work with students of all ages and disciplines. I recognize the unique potential in every child and I welcome the opportunity to help your child develop that potential to its fullest. I am passionate about awakening curiosity and encouraging exploration. I believe it is important to form a basic, positive environment that will allow your child to build upon each success. I take pride in my ability to help students achieve their very best. After obtaining a BS in English and Secondary Education from Salem State College, I utilized my well honed skills in the business world for over thirty years.

I believe that children learn through hands on experiences. Children need concreate items to see, touch and manipulate. I make learning fun for children. I see each child as an individual who has different needs than other children the same age, and then work with them on their needs. I teach so that the individual child will have his/her needs met. It is a gift for me to be able to work with children and instill the love of learning in them. Children are willing and love to learn, how the learning is presented to them makes all the difference in succcess. I have been in the field of Early Education for the past 20 years. I have a love of learning and thrive to instill that love to children. I am currently enrolled in the Masters Degree program at Barry University. I believe that my extensive education has aided in my desire to help children achieve their full potential. At th

I think the biggest part of getting children to understand what they need to know is relating to something that they like. For example, if a child likes basketball then you can relate counting and math to how the players score points in a basketball game. I think it is important to be patient and get to know the children in order to teach them effectively. I also think that making learning fun and inventive is an effective way of teaching. When I graduated from high school, I went to college and completed my AA degree. I wanted out of college and immediately started working and making money. Eventually I realized how much I wanted to further my degree so I returned and I completed my bachelor's degree in two and a half years. It was the best choice I have ever made. I have since worked in private schools for the past seven years in Development and Fundraising and I am currently a sta

My teaching style totally depends on the student(s) that I am working with. Not all children learn at the same pace, nor do they all have the same attention span. That said, I find that applying the “token economy” approach, in getting the children to focus on the task, is very effective. If given time and patience, children are capable of accomplishing most anything. I have been working with children for more than 20 years, as a tutor and mentor. My profession and academic education was in business and psychology, but my passion has always been working with children. For the last 7 years, I have worked as a substitute teacher, for Lee County Schools. And for the last 5 years, I have spent my summer months traveling throughout SE Asia, volunteering time in orphanages and schools, teaching the children English.

I am a retired classroom teacher from Michigan Public School Systems, with 30 plus years teaching experience. I have experience at all levels (7-12) of English, Speech Education, and Drama. I have also have two years experience in the areas of ESL/ELL with my previous school district. I have taught primarily at the high school level, and during that time, I taught 9th, 10th grade Language Arts, 9-12 Theatre, and 9-12 Speech classes. Since retiring, I worked with a local government grant program for youthful offenders, teaching GED classes and preparation for the FCAT exam. Reading and English were my focus. I retired from a class A school district in Michigan where I was basically the theatre department. I ran an active program for the high school, and produced two to three major plays a year. I also taught all levels of English in the classroom. I would describe myself as a likeab

I think it is fulfilling and rewarding to work with students and guide them through the learning process. My goal as a teacher is to be able to give students a good understanding of the subject being taught by providing them with the necessary tools, and examples of personal experiences and/or relating events that are familiar to them. Through these real life examples/hands-on activities, students have the opportunity to identify, associate, and apply their prior knowledge and make connections to the new concepts. I consider my persistence, dedication, strong organizational skills and dependability, qualities that will enable me to reach my goals and help students to reach theirs. I consider education an essential factor in the development of each person. I have earned two degrees, a MA in Education, and a B.S. in Business Administration. I have helped students, both as an ESL and a Span

My teaching style is best described as adaptive. We all learn differently, some more so by doing, others by seeing or listening, and others by thinking it through. Learning is a combination of processes, emphasizing what works best. For me, the approach is to use what works best for the student to learn what needs to be learned, with the underlying objective of the student learning how to learn - meaning a self-awareness of what works best for him or her. The tough learning is slugging it through the stuff that we just don’t seem to get or seems to have no value in our future lives. One book I’ve always liked is “The Memory Book” by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas for the varied approaches for using our brains. My teaching experience has been both formal and informal. I’ve been a teaching assistant to college undergraduates, an instructor in management studies and also an instruc
