I enjoy being visual and kinesthetic with my teaching skills. I also enjoy using our up to date technologies in delivering instruction.

Here I have educated clients on daily living tasks; and provided assistance with daily cares and activities. I train them to be as independent as possible.

After receiving my college education I taught my own visual art curriculum in Western Illinois for two years. Here I worked with Elementary students and High School Students. My second favorite subject is Math. I have had the chance to tutor and assist student in Nebraska with my Para position at Northwest. I have also been given a tutoring group, which meets three days of the school week. Here I have been able to use my skills in the arts and my skills in math to help students who are struggling. While being a Para it was my job description to assist students with special needs on their homework. I would say my teaching style is very thorough and repetitive. Repetition is what truly sticks information into student’s minds, despite its annoying tendencies. My middle school class would frequently complain that we had already covered something; but their test scores showed that it paid

My teaching style is 90 % hands on activities, where I look for ways to connect the hard core topics with the student ,whether it is through their environment, cultural or any topic of interest so the student can relate to the topic and start to familiarize with the topic. Student after that will have to use the concepts ,tools and material of research provided by the teacher to excel or master the topic on his own. Finally ,student and teacher will engage in communicative activities where student will demonstrate master of topic . During my years of Experience as teacher, I constantly developed ideas to produce class projects that include the environment and culture of students to engage them in the subject. Frequently interacted with parents,teachers, and staff to reach the success of inter-curricular class projects. Use of media and technology in the classroom setting to drive stu
