I am dedicated to providing a quality education for all of the students that I teach. Consequently, I understand that all students learn in different ways and I often incorporate the theory of multiple intelligence to meet the diverse needs of my students. I also try to make information relevant to students lives. Helping students make connections between background knowledge and new content is one of the strengths I possess as an educator. In the classroom I am constantly making comparisons scaffoling student learning, reflecting upon my own success, and making changes as necessary. As a graduate from UW- Madison in Elementary Education, I am passionate about teaching, learning, and the pursuit of excellence. I earned a 3.8 GPA from UW-Madison and gained great experience working with students of all ages and abilities. For example, I completed an internship at the Dane County Juvenile D

My classroom was defined by rules and consequences within a Love and Logic framework. During my years as a kindergarten teacher, it was necessary to provide students with a fun, stimulating, hands-on approach to learning so that they enjoyed coming to school on a daily basis. Creating the teacher/student bond is essential to achieving a successful and productive classroom environment. Teaching kindergarten and second grade was my passion for 20 years. As a classroom teacher, my students were provided with a warm, enthusiastic classroom environment defined within a framework of high yet achievable expectations. I've worked with students of all ability levels. Having twice acted as a teacher-facilitator for fifth grade students in the College for Kids summer program, I challenged students with reading and creative writing assignments that collaborated with the curriculum fo

I have sons ages 17 and 20, and continually took an active role in fostering their education. From the time they first set foot in kindergarten, through high school, I regularly volunteered, supporting their and the schools’ needs. I assisted in the classroom, chaperoned field trips, dances, etc., planned and participated at parties, special events and any role that could make a small difference. I am especially sensitive to the needs of students with disabilities, particularly those with ADD or similar issues. I not only have first-hand, personal experiences with the challenges faced, but have education focused toward disability studies, abnormal and child psychology and even juvenile delinquency. As a recent student, my online education used the most progressive and innovative resources available. The BS in Interdisciplinary Studies enabled me to become proficient in three, instead

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University with a BA in English. Psychology and child development were part of my curriculum. When our children were all in school, I started substitute teaching K-12. I especially enjoyed working with K-5. I have worked as a substitute, permanent substitute and teaching assistant for about 13 years in the Concord School District (NH) and the Provo School District (UT). Some assignments were a few months long while teachers were recovering from surgery or illness. I had the opportunity to attend seminars on "Autism" and "Image Writing". During the last 13 years, I have been in many different classrooms, taught varied subjects and dealt with all kinds of students and behaviors. I am also fluent in the French language. I believe that learning can and should be fun so that students will want to continue learning throughout their life. It is fun to come

I like teaching through differentiation methods. I believe all children learn differently and teachers need to offer different options to facilitate those students' learning and enhance their multiple intelligences. I was a volunteer to teach Religion in a At Risk school. Also since starting my program at Cardinal Stritch University, I've been placed in a couple of schools and have taught along with the regular teacher. My goal is to be a teacher that can motivate students in their learning and to become sucessful students.

I have earned my Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University, which combined with my Bachelors of Science Degree in Communications gives me, a strong combination to understand and relate to the needs of students. Since receiving my teaching license that has me certified to teach grades 1-8, I have worked as a tutor for middle school students and been a certified classroom substitute in the Madison and Verona school districts. The opportunity to teach is really the opportunity to work with kids to make them stronger academically. I enjoy stretching a students learning abilities to levels that they are not aware they have. Given the correct instruction in the proper environment, students can accomplish anything and everything and that is my goal as a teacher. Learning about the student is also a very important part of instruction that can lead to academic growt
