Experience Summary
I have a Master’s Degree in Education with an emphasis on Integrating Teaching through the Arts, from Lesley University. My passion is working with children of all ages. I have 18 years of experience working as an Early Childhood professional, teaching preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade. My areas of expertise for young students are as follows: literacy, writing, math, science, social studies, and critical thinking.
I hold my Colorado professional teachers license, and am trained to support struggling readers. I have an enthusiasm for helping kids succeed in school. I believe learning is a catalyst to later success. It is my mission to help kids strive for the stars and become competent, caring lifelong learners!
Teaching Style
I am focused on helping young students discover the joy of learning. I have taught approximately 500 + students over the years. My passion is teaching and educating. My teaching style reflects my belief that young students learn best by doing. Making connections are crucial. Helping students make those connections and guiding them to discovery is more than just learning a subject, it is learning how to learn. I take into account individual learning styles to help students cement and utilize what they have learned. I strive to help students master the material; I strive to help students develop learning strategies that will carry them throughout their school career and hopefully throughout life as well.
