A Little Bit About Me...

I have always wanted students to really know the material being covered. This has meant keeping their interest through jovial yet concentrated lesson planning. I have always strived to make my students feel comfortable and to take on the responsibility for their own learning. Much too often Educators show students how to answer questions rather than helping the student learn how to handle new scenarios. This is the essence of my teaching: helping students see the big picture so that they can handle any new scenario. My classroom always has many things going on at once, which is a direct result of the student driven learning and presenting.
I received my Bachelor's degree in 1989 and worked as an assistant engineer in Binghamton NY until I started my masters program at SUNY Cortland. I have held Physics, Earth science, Chemistry and Biology appointments in the years that followed ... read more

Read More About Kristin Y...

I graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Music Education from Houghton College. My education has prepared me to be an outstanding educator. Music covers many subjects, including basic math and the knowledge of various cultures throughout the world. Music is a very hands-on activity, and can be used as a great memorization technique. I believe that a professional educator is honest, caring, personable, hardworking, organized, and has good communication skills. During the past year I gained experience substitute teaching in four school districts at all grade levels and for all subjects. I have substituted for regular classroom teachers and for teacher assistants and aides.
In order for students to be successful, teachers must provide the resources necessary for each individual to reach their greatest potential. Every student has his or her own way of learning. It is the teacher’s respo ... read more
