Experience Summary
I have a high level of qualifications and professionalism because of my extensive experience in Education, now over 25 years. My students were very important to me. I cared about them and their quality of Education. After becoming a Master Teacher, I was proud to represent the teachers of my state with Governor Cecil Andrus and statewide schoolboards. My students attained levels two to four and a half years above grade level on their annual Standardized Tests. My expectations of them were very high and I was very proud of their efforts and improvements.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is more the cooperative, reasonable method that prevents problems. Children need to have lots of praise and rewards for their work and efforts. It promotes growth and encouragement. My students will realize that they have to really pay attention to learn and get it. Their study skills will include organizing, focusing and stretching their thinking to higher levels. This way they can go as far as possible for them and reach the moon!
My Hobbies
Two little dogs, Willie and Jackie, go with me to the dog park in the neighborhood all the time. Other times,
I like reading, walking along beaches, and cooking.
