My comments on tutoring Special Education : Masters in Special Education

My teaching style reflects the Kahn Academy in that I believe in small steps that are color coordinated to help the student with a visual learning ability found in ADHD and Autism Spectrum.

I am a retired Boulder valley teacher and I have taught from the preschool to college level for over 20 years. Most recently, I worked as an ESL and reading teacher. My training was modeled after reading recovery and involved one year of supervised teaching one-on-one with children who were struggling readers. The goal of this training is to help children work with their strengths as readers, rather than focusing on their weaknesses. Children learn the strategies that they need in order to be successful, independent readers. The work I do with them is very focused and begins with a thorough diagnostic assessment of their reading abilities. I have six years of experience working one-on-one with children to improve their reading. I also have extensive experience teaching and writing with both native English speakers and second language learners from the elementary to college level. ... read more

While I was attending college I worked in child care with a variety of ages preparing lessons for enrichment. I also taught as an adjunct professor for adult ESL at Aims Community College. After finishing my degree, I taught for five years at Wiggins Elementary in 2nd and 6th grade. I was trained in FAST reading program as well as many others for teaching reading and math. For the past two years, I have been living in the country of Macedonia as a US Peace Corps volunteer. My job there entailed working with primary school teachers to develop student centered teaching techniques and resources. I was responsible for planning, attending classes, modeling and providing feedback for teachers.
I believe teaching should be child friendly and as interactive as possible. When learning is fun, even difficult concepts become easy. My goal is to motivate children to succeed and teach th ... read more

I received my bachelors’ degree in May, 2004 from Metropolitan State College with a BA in Behavioral Science (minor: Elementary Education). In the fall of 2004 I continued my education at MSCD by enrolling in the teacher preparation program, pursuing an endorsement in elementary education. 12 semester hours of student teaching remain before I obtain my teaching license; however, for personal reasons, I have stopped attending school for the time being. The teacher preparation program at MSCD includes an academic year of pre-student teaching internships. From January 2004-May 2004 I interned in a third grade classroom, and from August 2004-December 2004 interned in a fifth grade classroom. These valuable experiences afforded me the opportunity to: • develop and implement lesson plans on a wide range of topics and varying levels of academic ability, • work with emotionally and phys ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching/coaching style is structured, organized, yet relaxed. I believe it's important to get to know the individual and his/her learning style before creating a personalized education plan for him/her. After discerning how a person best learns, I would tailor a program based on areas that most need improvement. Then we would design "classes" or units that are interesting and meaningful to the student. A subject must have meaning and appeal to the student in order for real learning (and academic improvement) to take place.
By training and trade, I'm a professional counselor. I've worked in school, mental health, and private settings as both an academic advisor and as an individual, group, and family therapist. At the college level, I've taught student success, time management, test-taking, goal-setting, communications, psychology, and business courses. I have also taught g ... read more

I became a para and went on to get my teaching degrees.Initially I received a BS in Human Services(This degree dealt with ethics, social work, counseling, and confidential issues) I felt these were issues as a teacher that would be beneficial. After working as a substitute for 2 years,I applied and was offered a Special Education position. I took the job and went to Regis University while I was working with 7th and 8th grade students. I worked at this position for three years, the year I graduated 2007 the school was faced with downsizing and I was let go. I worked the following year with 7th and 8th grade students in a different school district. I continue to move forward with learning and teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have learned patience and understanding in my trips abroad as well as my time spent with the developmentally disabled here in Colorado. My technique mostly stems from understanding how the student learns and then taking the time to structure lessons that best utilize the particular student's skill set and preferences. I feel that through my experience, I can now meet the needs of almost any learner who possesses a desire to gain knowledge and better themselves.
My degree in English served me well in my two periods of teaching in South Korea and Chile. In the former, I taught young children through high school age English in private companies in and around the greater Seoul area. In Chile, I mostly taught adults at the corporate executive level, but also did some tutoring of younger children. In my position as 1 to 1 facilitator currently, I work on a wide plethora of topics wit ... read more

I have helped children prepare for preschool through games and activities, and community college students brainstorm ideas for transfer essays. I am very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I have worked at a Montessori preschool and am comfortable using hands-on, creative methods for learning. Each student is different and learning approaches need to reflect that. I have worked with sensory-sensitive preschoolers, mentally challenged high school students, and ESL students ranging in age from 3 to 40. Whether they needed to learn how to tie their shoes, write an essay, the parts of an atom, how to use a conjunction, why the slope of a line is important, or how to write their name, I was there to help.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a 12-year teaching veteran with a variety of experiences under my belt. While my formal training was in elementary education, my special education certification afforded me the opportunity to teach at the high school level for 6 years. I also have 6 years’ experience in the elementary classroom, and three of those years were spent teaching children with (some severe) emotional impairments. My most recent experience was teaching (general education) kindergarten where I enjoy the rapid growth children experience at that stage. Their excitement for both written and oral language is so rewarding!
My vast amount of experience includes work with a very diverse group of people including those from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, and grade levels. In each situation, I have demonstrated the utmost level of professionalism, enthusiasm, and flexib ... read more

I have worked as a special education teacher, both in and outside of the general classroom setting. My experience has been with all age groups, especially birth through 5th grade, however I have recently begun working with at-risk high school students in an online curriculum. I have worked with children with all ranges of disabilities, from various types of learning challenges to physically challenged students and children diagnosed with behavioral differences. I enjoy adapting curriculum and academic tasks to meet individual learning styles.
My teaching style is based on my belief that students learn best when an assignment becomes more of a "hands on" activity. Experiential learning can help all students if tailored to meet their needs as a unique learner. I strive for all of my students to become lifelong learners so that they have a set of strategies with which to approach ... read more
