Experience Summary
I am a previous elementary school teacher, focusing mainly in the lower grades during my 15 years of teaching. Prior to that I was trained and taught Montessori Elementary, Grades 1-3. I believe and was able to teach with a thematic approach in which all subjects were integrated. I was also trained in Bloom's Taxonomy, which is an awareness and knowledge of the seven different learning styles.
Teaching Style
I believe each child has her/his own way in which to learn. It is a process of discovery but my experience and intuition are pretty darn good. I like to combine humor with organization and accountability, on my part, the student's part and as well as the parents'.
My Hobbies
Reading, reading, reading! Art, crafting, traveling.
Other Comments
I love to learn right along with the kids! If I'm excited and eager to find about new things, I think it seeps into the kids, making also all grow and prosper.
