A Little Bit About Me...

First teaching job was in a school for severely autistic children. After being there for a year I taught in a residential home for boys. This was challenging but probably one of my favorite jobs as a teacher. Because of the distance from home to work (about 1-1/2 hrs.), I applied at an urban school 20 minutes from my home. My first job there was managing the Young Parents Program. This was a program for high school girls who were pregnant or had already had a child. This program allowed the young girls to attend school. Due to budget restrictions it was cut. I was offered a position as a special education teacher in the high school. I have been doing that for the past 15 years. I taught American History, Geography, World History, Government, English, Reading, Reading Intervention and Wilson Reading. I retired this past June and moved from Connecticut to Asheville.

Individualized instruction

I taught for seven years in public education. My experience spans from grades 5-8. In that time, I worked with a diverse population with varying needs. My classroom was inclusionary which required modification of instruction, and learning about a variety of learning disabilities. Many of my students were ESL, as well.
Brain based instruction focusing on individual learning styles.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a unique resume of teaching experience. I have worked in a number of settings from pre-school to teaching adults. I have taught in public schools, private schools, after school settings and in a foreign country. I believe that every person has their own learning style and it is important for me to understand my students' needs and goals in any learning environment. Most of my teaching experience is with Elementary students working in the core academic areas of Reading, Writing, Math, Science and the Arts. Over the years I have focused on literacy through teaching pre-school to teaching English as a foreign language.
My passion as a teacher is working with children. I have a passion for education that I hope to show through my teaching and share with all of my students. I believe every student learns differently and has strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to get to kn ... read more

Prior to my second career in the field of service to at-risk senior citizens, I taught English for four years at Westport High School. Following the reduction in force made necessary by budgetary constraints, I taught for ten years at the Crystal Springs School in Assonet, MA as a Special Needs teacher. While rewarding, I missed the challenge of more literary pursuits and began teaching evening classes at a local communuity-based organization. My tutoring experience had its inception in that setting.
As a progressive educator, I believe in attainment of the standard benchmarks by individualized methods, utilitizng a spectrum of teaching modalities. My personal affect is cheerful and professional, although I believe that learning should be fun, and with me, it is.

I believe that every student is a unique individual that has the ability and desire to learn. Ultimately, my goal is for each one of my students to reach his or her full potential in life and become a productive citizen of our world. I feel that a child learns best through play. For this reason, my lessons and activities will use fun manipulatives and eye-catching visuals. By using a variety of tools and anchor charts, I will appeal to auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners. I feel that taping into all 8 types of intelligences is important to the development of the whole child. As a tutor I eagerly welcome the responsibility to develop each and every student into a compassionate, ambitious and intellectual human beings.

I began teaching by volunteering in the public school and subsequently was employed as a second grade teacher assistant for a master teacher. After nearly seven years, the opportunity to complete a Master's degree in elementary education became a reality for me. With my experience as an assistant, long term substitute teacher, and professional development, I also received certification in Special Education-moderate needs K-8. My employment consists mostly of long term substitute teaching positions in the public schools. During the last two years, I have tutored for Club Z! In Home Tutoring, a company receiving grant money for public schools to meet the standards for the NCLB law.

I earned my BA in English from Rhode Island College and took extensive coursework in Computer Information Systems. Since 2001, I have been working at Bradley Hospital in East Providence. As of April 2003, I have been working in a self-contained special education classroom for students with developmental disabilities and behavioral/emotional issues. In 2005, I took extensive coursework in Secondary Education, but was not able to complete my teaching degree due to financial issues.
I enjoy working with children and have experience tutoring children of various ages and levels of ability. I know that each child learns in a different way and I'm able to adjust my teaching style accordingly. My job duties include tutoring students in all subject areas, as well as helping to manage behaviors.

Talking with students and analyzing their work samples determines their needs. I ask students to complete a "multiple intelligence" survey to determine their learning strengths. In designing delivery of services I incorporate specific strategies to complement their learning styles. For example, a visual/spatial learner would benefit from drawing pictures to represent vocabulary definitions. I also incorporate a "self-talk" dialogue in our sessions helping students learn how to formulate content questions to assist them in clarifying their understanding of new information.
With a Master of Education in Special Needs I acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to adapt instructional practices for diverse learners. Working in partnership with the child, parent(s), and school districts I developed meaningful learning activities addressing the specific academic needs of the child. I h ... read more

In May 2008, I received my BA in Elementary Education and Sociology. Upon graduating, I took a summer job working as an Aid for a Collaborative Program. In December 2008, I was hired as a Severe and Profound Special Education Teacher for the collaborative. I worked with students with a wide range of diagnoses including Autism and Intellectual Impairments. I learned to adapt my lessons to students with a wide range of abilities. I often created individualized lessons and worksheets that catered to the needs of each student. I am currently working on my Master’s Degree in Severe and Profound Special Education.

I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers. This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days. I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all music.
When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing. When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age. If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run ... read more
