Experience Summary
I am presently working as a Reading Teacher with the Levittown School District, where I provide Tier 3 support for elementary level students. Previously experience includes two years as a Teaching Assistant with the Locust Valley School District and seven years as a Preschool Teacher with Kiddie Academy in Islip Terrace. These experiences have provided me with the opportunity to develop excellent classroom management skills and the ability to differentiate instruction and implement various instructional strategies to meet the needs of all my students. I believe that every child has the ability to learn if placed in a safe, nurturing environment that promotes a lifelong interest in learning.
Teaching Style
As an educator, my main goal is to be an ongoing source of encouragement and motivation to my students in striving to reach high levels of achievement and success. I believe that my enthusiasm for learning will inspire my students to become active participants in a classroom that encourages them to explore, take risks, share ideas, and acquire knowledge. By providing a learning experience that is built upon a hands-on approach, I can help my students understand the fundamentals of the concepts I am teaching. Additionally, by linking curriculum materials to subjects of direct interest to my students, I can easily engage them in the learning process.
