Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art. I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach.

During my studies at Northwest Florida State, I was able to experience a total of 60 total hours in elementary and middle school classrooms. I learned various teaching techniques and styles, and also assisted in helping students in reading and math. In South Korea, I taught English as a foreign language for 16 months. Here, I continued to hone my teaching style and learned how best to help my students by understanding their specific learning styles and teach accordingly. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to give each student the help they needed. I brushed up on my own grammar while teaching my older students. I feel that it's very important to understand each individual child's learning style and consequently, teach accordingly. If he/she is more of an audio learner, I would use songs and sounds to teach them. If they learn by seeing and doing, I would want to find a

I embrace teaching as an opportunity to inspire and empower. As a teacher, it is my goal to encourage and support every student’s educational needs. Each child is a unique individual that needs the opportunity to grow intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. Instruction is most effective when it is personalized. Moreover, I anticipate enabling learners to meet and understand new challenges. I am a facilitator of learning who engages students in the learning process and provides tools for instruction. It is the search for knowledge and understanding that requires learners to see the value of their work and appreciate learning. A student is much more likely to access the knowledge they have constructed, using the tools I have given them to gain even more knowledge, rather than me giving them the answer. I believe that students benefit most when they construct their own kno

Working with/helping children is my passion. I believe that all children are capable of succeeding in life if given the proper tools and/or guidance. I also believe that each child is an individual and that they do not all learn in the same manner. I make every effort to find their specific style of learning and teach from there. I try to make every child feel successful and take pride in their work and accomplishments. Sometimes, it just takes someone with patience and flexibility to motivate a child to do their best. I have earned two bachelor degrees;a BA in Psychology and a BA in Child Development. I also have an AA in General Studies with the focus on Early Childhood Education. I have been a director of a preschool for 4 years. I have taught in 2 preschools. I have tutored children, below the average reading level, in grades 1-6. I was the Site Supervisor in an elementary age after-

I have taught secondary Reading and Language Arts for the past 18 years at carmel Middle School in Harrison District 2. I also taught the same subects for 5 years at Harrison high School.I retired this year and find that I miss helping students achieve their full potential. My expertise is in reading, writing, and history. I believe one of my gratest strengths in the classroom was my connection to my studens. They were expected to do their best and to maintain appropriate classroom behavior. My students were respected and given every possible opportunity to achieve. I guided them and allowed them to find their voice in their writing and also helped them overcome some of the reading difficulties they may have encountered. With motivation, hard work, and a belief that they can succeed,my students were able to become lifelong learners.
