I can make learning fun and easier for students at any level

I am currently pursuing my Doctorate of Psychology in Educational Leadership (projected graduation 10/2015) at University of the Rockies.

I have a caring and mutually respectful relationship with students. I am very creative in my lesson planning, often use hands-on activities, draw from various teaching resources, and differentiate for all levels of learners. I like to bolster the confidence of struggling learners with lots of positive reinforcement and encouragement. I like to illicit higher level thinking from all students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with young people and sharing my knowledge and love of learning with them. I enjoy learning from them and hearing about their ideas, interests, and abilities. I find it easy to connect with students and quickly build a rapport with them. I am extremely patient, and it is very rare that I feel any sense of frustration when working with kids. I am able to explain difficult concepts in simple terms and in various ways. I feel that feedback to students should be positive & constructive. I do not use sarcasm, intimidation, or ridicule. I strive to prevent children from feeling embarrassment for any difficulties they are having. I enjoy helping students to experience success, make new discoveries, and gain new skills!
I am a life-long learner with degrees in Zoology & Philosophy, and I was the Valedictorian of my high school. I have 17 years of experience in the IT ... read more
