Experience Summary
I am a, recently retired teacher as of, June 2013, and have thirty one years of teaching experience, within, a variety of school settings. I am certified in elementary education, grades 1-8, hearing impaired grades k-12, and moderate to severe disabilities. My last position was at a local high school, teaching students with cognitive disabilities. I am well versed in assessment, plethora of teaching methodologies and implementation, computer skills such as, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. I can, also, create a Prezzie presentation, using a variety of digital media. I possess good communication skills, including sign language. I establish long lasting relationships with, both, parents and students.
My passion is to teach, although retired, I will, always be a teacher, and that is why I want to teach. Due to the experiences I have had, I have become very proficient in my field. I will tutor or teach, by developing an individual learning plan, which begins with informal assessment, establishing, tangible learning goals, and targets implementation, and then, concludes with a final assessment to make sure benchmarks were reached. The parent and students will be assisting the tutor with designing and implementing the course of action to be taken. My philosophy is that success is based on hard work and commitment. I will help your child with homework and projects, and will give some informal practice on various skills to complete in between sessions. Regular study sessions are important to obtain success. Parent will receive, either, a verbal or written report at the end of each session, report on their child's progress.
