I taught for 8 years in a Title 1 Elementary school in North Fort Myers. The population was and still is over 90% free and reduced lunch. I taught 4th and 5th grades for 4 years and then taught science as an exploratory to all of the students for 4 years. I developed my curriculum for all grade levels in science, connected them to the building block and Sunshine State Standards, and created assessments. Currently, I am teaching Life Science to 7th graders at a Cape Coral middle school which is 5 miles form my home. I taught Science for 6th, 7th and 8th ESE students who had learning disabilities there for two years and ESOL students last year. I like to teach science because it gives me many opportunities to teach using my preferred styles. I like to use cooperative learning, have the students investigate questions, and use hands on activities with real world examples. I try to build rel

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 instructor for dog obedience classes (you’re really teaching the owner, not the dog). My informal experience has been with my kids, helping them with homework and as a scout den leader and a coach for baseball and softball, and now with my grandkids. In my professional life, I brought new products and services to market which involved educating and orienting individuals and groups through demonstrating and teaching opportunities. 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 st

I am a firm believer in research based teaching. I combine direct instruction with constructivist methods of teaching. I also take a humanistic approach to motivate my students to learn. I take the time to learn about my student's interests and background knowledge so I can tailor my instruction to each student's needs and interests as much as possible. I also believe in adding fun and humor to learning, which has made the learning experience a very positive one for my students. I have been teaching for six years. I currently teach third grade at Edgewood Academy in Fort Myers, FL. I hold my professional teaching certificate in Florida and I am a highly qualified teacher. I am currently a doctoral student at Novasoutheastern University. The focus of my research is on reading.

Teaching young children takes dedication and respect. As a teacher, parent, tutor, cargiver, or whatever role one is in a young child's early years is also an example and a role model. Children have to trust you, feel comfortable with you, and must like you in order for them to respond to you. During positive interactions with elementary school students I also work on communication, social, and emotional skills. My goal is to provide an easier method for struggling students to learn without the frustration. That was exactly what I did for my daughter. I believe that young children are our future and have to be prepared for every challenge in the 21st century. Having an associate degree in both the Paralegal and Early Childhood Education fields motivates me to stand up for the rights of children and to work with and teach young children as they grow and learn.

I teach utilizing all teaching modes from direct instruction to differentiated instruction. I also believe in collecting data and varying your teaching methods depending on progression. I have been teaching for five years in the state of Pennsylvania and three years in the state of Florida. For all eight years I have tutored students ranging in grade levels from 3rd grade to 7th grade in the subjects of language arts, mathematics, and science.

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

I feel that I am a natural educator. I often find my self teaching people simple tasks at work, or being called upon by friends and family members to assist them, or their children with their homework. I like to keep learning fun and interesting for all students. I believe that if you invoke an emotional response, like happiness, when you are teaching something, the pupil is much more likely to retain the information. All through high school and college I was a tutor. I have taken numerous writing extensive courses. This qualifies me to tutor English. I have also taken many courses that concentrated on Social Studies. Science was always one of my favorite courses in high school, therefore I took a few science courses in college as well. I have previously tutored students in test preparation, and I have taken the FCAT myself. Math was another strong subject of mine, and I have also tutore

I believe all students can learn. We have to meet our students at their learning level and interest level. When we teach our students above their learning abilities it creates frustration and poor self-image. I believe students should be offered choices in their education to give them ownership of the learning process. I earned an undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and a Master's degree in Special Education from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. I taught for the Priceton City Schools district in Cincinnati for 31 years.I taught mostly middle school in the areas of math and special education. I taught remedial math with our alternative school for "at risk" students. I also taught classroom management classes and special education classes for the Education Department of Xavier University.

My teaching style is very similar regardless of audience: get them involved. I use creative exercises, current events, and varied instruction styles to keep the learning environment dynamic. My experience has taught me that learning is more about facilitating and fostering a positive environment than it is about memorizing facts. I began my teaching career while obtaining my Master's degree at the U of Iowa. I taught the entry Business Administration course as part of my graduate program. This included grading, testing, actvities, and coaching students. Once employed in the corporate world, I continued teaching within my corporate position, as well as in adult education settings with Indiana Wesleyan, Univesity of Indianapolis, and Indiana Tech.

I prefer teching differented education (one-on-one)as opposed to whole classroom. Learning ability is a very personal thing, and each student has their own strengths upon which we can work. Teaching reading is an intense endeavor and focus is necessary. Most the students I served were low achievers in a classroom setting. Each needed personal attention. During the past 30 years, I have earned teaching and elementary principal credentials from the State of Michigan. I also possess Masters level Reading Specialist certification taken as an undergraduate on my BA degree for Social Science. As a teacher, I have worked with students of diverse ages and lifestyles. I taught and served as vocational/academic principal in a State Correctional where I also taught ABE/GED reading and math.
