Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art. I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach.

While working toward my master's degree, I started working in a high school as a para-professional. I also studied a lot of physical and social sciences, which I feel are my stong points. I love working with children and my goal in life is to teach elementary level students. I do not give up in finding ways to reach children of all ages. I have also assisted my sons and their friends with school work and study skills.

As a substitute teacher, I try to engage the interest of all the students by greeting them by name initially as I welcome them to their classroom. Easing the tension when someone messes up by asmitting that everyone blows it at some point is always a hit. It is understood by all that the day will be different than when their teacher is in the classroom, but that we'll get through together. So, we move through the day making the most of every activity. As a Michigan resident, I was unable to find sny substantial work in the fiels of Social Work once I earned my BA degree. So, I worked in 3-4 school districts over a two year period before gaining full time work with the State. Eventually, in 2006 I lost my position with the state and again returned to substitute teaching. I enjoy young poeple and giving them a strong dose of encouragement even in brief one-day encounters.

For the past four years I have been working at The Children's ARK-A residential treatment facility for at-risk youth. I was a teaching assistant my first year and I have been teaching for the last three years all content areas and subjects for grades 5-8. As for my educational background, I am currently on a TTE (Temporary Teaching license)and I will have my SPED generalist permanent license in May. Also, I will have an added endorsement and a Master's degree this summer 2010. I currently hold a B.A. in Psychology and that degree has proved to be very helpful with working with children with emotional issues. I believe that it is the teacher's job to discover the true learning style of their students and when we do it is like unlocking a treasure chest of gold, so to speak. I enjoy teaching all the subjects in school and I enjoy the challenge of teaching children with learning disabilitie

My teaching style is to recognize the learning stategy of the students that I am working with (tactile, verbal, auditory) and try to assist the students by facilitating the learning process in a comfortable way. An example of this would be to design a lesson around a point of interest for the student and to introduce books that he/she would enjoy followed with a relevant learning activity. I engage the students, encouraging them to think through problem solving situations with effective questioning. I set high standards for effort with my students and reward them accordingly with knowledgeable and fun instruction. I have had many successes in my role as educator, trainer, and manager. I have a master's degree in teaching elementary education and I am excellent at reinforcing skills learned in grades K-6.

As the daughter of an English teacher, I grew up accustomed to correct grammar and word usage, and to correction of my errors! I didn't always appreciate learning the correct use of English, but have since learned how valuable it is. Without the ability to speak and write correctly, individuals are limited in their ability to express their ideas and present themselves. I have taught public presentation and writing for years. For the past three years, I have been teaching at an open-enrollment college where I spent hours in the Student Success Center, tutoring several students who needed additional assistance to pass their English classes and write effective papers in other classes. In addition to remedial reading, public speaking, and basic college English, I taught a course in college success, equipping students with study skills and time management tools to help them succeed in sc

I have recently retired from the U.S. Army as a medic. During my service, I was frequently responsible for both formal and informal teaching and training. I learned to easily adapt to various learning styles, learning barriers, and researching subjects. While still in the service, I utilized my lunch breaks and evenings to further my education and emerged with my AA and completed Nurse Assistant training while still serving and my BS only one year later; two months after retiring. Currently, I am working on my MS in Health Promotion with a certificate in Disaster in Public Health. I am capable of producing a lesson and effectively teaching any subject. I am very adaptive. I accept challenges warmly. I love working with children; I teach at my church at the elementary level weekly. I also enjoy working with adults in a non-threatening way.

When working towards my teaching certification I was in many classrooms from Kindergarten to 12th Grade in Pueblo School District 60. After graduation I applied and got a teaching job and I taught at Skyview Middle School in District 49 for 4 years teaching Ancient Civilizations. Before that I was a substitute in District 8, 2, 3, 60, 48 all southern Colorado school districts. I am a holistic teacher who likes for students to experience the subject. For example I would have student immerse themselves into the subject of history and complete a project and present it to the other students. It was really successful and had students waiting all year.

As educators, teachers and tutors play a vital role in the lives of children. I consider this to be a great responsibility and a great reward. We are responsible to see that every child in our reach feels safe, valued, and capable. We receive great reward in watching the light of learning beam in a student's eyes, possibly for the first time. I will encourage and guide all my students to reach their maximum potential. I hope to provide students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenges of their future. I believe this brief quote puts everything we do as tutors, teachers, and educators into perspective: "In 100 years from now, it will not matter what type of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, or how much money I had in the bank...but that I was important in the life of a child."

I have always wanted to teach. While in high school, I spent half of my school day being a teacher's assistance at an elementary school. I started my college experience at Adams State College in the Education department. During my initial years in college, I completed multiple teaching courses including: Intro to Education, Teaching Exceptional Students in a Regular Classroom, and Child Development. I changed degrees to broaden my opportunities but never lost my desire to teach. With my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics, I learned to break down complex concepts into understandable pieces. I tutored many classmates throughout every level of my education and helped them with learning and applying difficult constructs from math and computers to study skills. From the time I was in 4th grade, I have always had a strong passion to teach our young people and assi
