Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A special needs student may need hands on lessons or visual learning activities. Someone else may be an audio learner. I analyze the situation, differentiate between teaching strategies and implement the most effective one. My success goes beyond the actual lessons or my experience. It's is due to the fact that I truly love teaching, thrive on the positive interactions and maintain high expectations for myself and the student. I am very flexible, patient and knowledgeable. I strive to meet the needs of the students in order for them to be successful and confident. I began teaching 22 years ago at a middle school and later taught high school when I relocated to the beach. I also tutored at a local community college. The most

My background in teaching kindergarten and first grade include hands-on activities to keep their natural curiosity alive and develop new curiosity. The number one thing that I love about teaching is seeing the progression of abilities in my students. Especially at such a young age, it is amazing to see my students use their higher level thinking. Knowing that my students’ confidence levels grow with every accomplishment in their abilities gives me great joy as a teacher. I have worked with students who have a range of abilities, so I feel I have been lucky to see the different levels of students. This has allowed me to develop lessons and activities that can challenge the gifted students and still meet the needs of all students. I am a graduate student from Northern Illinois University where I have earned a BS in elementary education, which enabled me to gain an understanding of teaching

I believe that every child can learn and be successful. Students all do not learn the same as the teacher, you need to change how you teach and present materials to get the attention of all of the learners in the classroom. I believe that students need to feel safe in order to be successful in their learning environment. I have worked with the Milwaukee Public Schools since January 2007 as a Paraprofessional Educational Assistant. I assist students with challenging subjects as needed. Previous to working in the Milwaukee Public Schools District, I worked at the UW-Milwaukee Children’s Center as a teacher in a kindergarten classroom. I instructed students on reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. Through my courses at UW-Milwaukee, I have been placed in many field placements.

I have instructed adult classes in oil painting that focus on the figure, landscape and portraiture. Currently I implement arts integrated programs for K-8 in the Chicago Public Schools as a contractor. In my teaching I employ communicative tools to facilitate both individual and group instruction. I am often energized when I work with students and feel responsible to transfer something they will apply in their daily lives. As a painting instructor I rely on good communication, clear direction and enjoy talking with students about what they see in their work how to clafify their objectives.
