Experience Summary
I have been involved with elementary students through the Hamilton County Schools System where I have substituted with long term substitution positions for grade levels K and 5th Grades. Through these positions, I have been involved in the balance literacy program where I worked with children in guiding reading formats/small groups to teach literacy. I have been involved for the last two years with these programs. I have also involved in TCAP testing and dibels assessments.
Teaching Style
I love teaching children. I left working in a commerical insurance job to pursue my passion to work with students. I love to see children glow when they finally get a concept. You can see the light go off when they understand. This is exciting to me as well as the students.
I see students, who have given up hope to learn, and become a behaviorial problem because of their inablitilites to read; which is fundamental to be successful in any subject.
My real love is working in small groups. I feel this gives me the chance to work more directly with students to undertand their learning styles as well as their deficiencies or sufficiencies in a subject area.
