I have taught Regents Earth Science and Environmental Science at Medina High School for 13 years. I have spent time teaching inclusion classes with a special education teacher. Through that experience I learned the best ways to modify work for individual students. My goal is to meet the needs of all learning styles. I teach my science courses based on inquiry. I feel students learn more when they have the chance to explore and do hands-on learning.

My philosophy around human learning and knowledge retention involves relationships. Human beings are connected to each other and to all wisdom. Establishing healthy and loving relationships with students and their families facilitates that all key players gain knowledge and are afforded the opportunity to develop deep understandings of concepts taught, increase retention time and improve retrieval. I embrace the National Boards for Professional Teaching Standards five core propositions. The first indicates that accomplished teachers know their students and know each of their students’s learning styles and needs. Adults responsible for children’s learning must make the effort to know all that might help them understand their students’ strengths and build on those strengths. I have earned two Masters degrees in education as well as National Boards Certification. My GPA has been between

Throughout my teaching career, I have learned to adjust instruction to meet the needs of individual students, create a supportive and encouraging classroom climate, and craft stimulating curricular activities. My overall goal is to provide students with a positive, inclusive learning environment in which they have every opportunity to achieve their full potential. For the past five years I have obtained a wealth of experience educating students within the public & private school environment. I currently teach fourth grade as well as the Newspaper Class. I have thrived in teaching grades four through eight at two prestigious private schools in Houston. I understand what is required to optimize a child's motivation & learning. In addition, I have other specific experiences and expertise related to teaching and education. First, while at St. Francis Episcopal Day School, I constructed an

While working with children in the high school in Brooklyn I have come up with a particular way for a student to become engaged in his work and to perform well. When a student has a question about a certain problem I usually perform the solution while he or she is looking. I then try it again with perhaps a different problem. After this, I let the student give it a try with myself making comments if they have a problem. This might have to occur another time but essentially the next step is to have the student complete a problem without the aide coming from me. I have recently experienced the opportunity of graduating from my dream college this past summer at Yankee Stadium with my fellow NYU friends. I started working with children early in my college career as a soccer camp coach during my summers at University of Rochester. I have acquired great customer service through working with We

The following is my personal philosophy of education: I believe that all children have the to ability to learn. A student's curriculum should be integrated with multiple-intelligences in mind. It is crucial for students to be able to make personal connections in their learning. Good teaching means engaging students in meaningul dialogue, text and their lives. Literacy should be encouraged and demeonstrated as a life long process. A successful learning environment must be safe, caring and respectful. As a non-traditional, graduate of Nazareth of Rochester, it has become very clear why an excellent education is clearly the only way to achieve autonomy, which I believe is crucial to all. I earned my dual-certification and Bachelor's Degree in Regular Education and Special Education. Because my own son had learning disabilities, I earned my Master's in Reading. I have worked with the Ro

I enjoy children and learning together with them. I find the world a wonderful place and enjoy sharing the splendors of creation with young people. It is natural for me to work one-on-one with children as I have done for many years as a homeschool mom. I am convinced that reading and writing are key to developing the thinking process, and believe that learning to express oneself clearly and accurately within the marvelous grammatical system we have inherited is a great asset. At the same time, there is great delight and creativity unleashed through imagination. Books open these doors for us. As a music educator, I have worked in a variety of settings, most recently for 23 years at the Hochstein School of Music teaching group classes of children, ages 2 years through 11 part time. I addition, I home-schooled my own four children over the course of 21 years, covering all subject areas,

I am a hands-on learner and believe that the best way to teach is to have the students participate. Students should be comfortable in their learning environment, and as a teacher, it is important to adapt your teaching methods to fit the students strengths. I believe that passion drives the learning process; when a student is interested in the subject at hand, they are much more likely to gain the most from the experience. I have a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, minor in Environmental Engineering, and am currently enrolled in graduate school to pursue a M.S. in Sustainable Engineering. I have extensive research experience in these fields, and am most interested in improving the standard of living of those in need. I have worked on several projects, in the U.S. and abroad, incorporating sustainable energy and improving health conditions. Currently I am on the Technology Innovation Develo

I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no greater reward than unlocking each individual's potential for academic interest and success. Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I ha

I love working with people and teaching them about the things that I am passionate about. I am very patient and throughout and I have learned a lot of valuable techniques such as asking the right questions to confirm that the student has learned the lesson as well as planning out what the important points are that I need to cover. I also try to illustrate points using a variety of learning styles that over time I can customize to individual students. Between my studies at Roberts Wesleyan College in the liberal arts field, where I earned a bachelors degree, and my studies in math and computational science I have an exceptionally broad knowledge base. My work experience further illustrates this having worked briefly as an English teacher in Prague as well as the various sales and customer service jobs I have had including Verizon Wireless, Wegmans, and Radio Shack.

I finished my degree by going to summer and night school; I graduated in 1979. I was the first in my family to go to college and I am very proud of that. I have become a much better writer and am much more aware of grammar through writing reports, technical papers and SOPs. For a couple of years I volunteered for Literacy Volunteers because of my love of reading. I like working with children. They are so appreciative and excited when they learn and figure out a new word or anything. I am easy going and very supportive. GIven a good learning atmosphere, good support, encouragement and enthusiasm and children can learn. Everyone learns in different ways; in a one-on-one situation that can be discovered and lessons designed to best help the child.
