A Little Bit About Me...

As a four-year teacher, I have had the opportunity to create my own philosophy based on my experience. I have taught both regular and special ed. children and have the same philosophy for all my students. I truly believe that every child is capable of learning and as a teacher; I need to identify the best approach to meet the needs of each child. Once I get to learn about their learning style, I can accommodate their needs more efficiently. Every child is unique and has his/her own needs and abilities and deserves to be treated fairly. . I want the students to feel at ease within the classroom and not timid in the learning process. I teach as a constructivist where students not only learn, but internalize their own knowledge. Everything that I teach the children has a purpose. I also use alternative forms of assessment to assess ones students progress throughout the year. This i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that in order to be a truly exceptional teacher, one must put an effort into getting to know their students as an individual. It is important to design lessons that will compliment a student's personal learning style and reflect their interests. I think that learning can be demonstrating in several different capacities. Students should be encouraged to ask questions about their world and explore their natural curiosities. Students should not be afraid to ask questions or to ask for further clarification. They should not be fearful of making a mistake. Mistakes should be used as an essential tool in the learning process. I strive to make a positive impact in the lives of each student.
In May 2008, I received my BA in Elementary Education and Sociology. Upon graduating, I took a summer job working as an Aid for a Collaborative Program. In December 2008, I was hired ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a progressive educator, I believe in attainment of the standard benchmarks by individualized methods, utilitizng a spectrum of teaching modalities. My personal affect is cheerful and professional, although I believe that learning should be fun, and with me, it is.
Prior to my second career in the field of service to at-risk senior citizens, I taught English for four years at Westport High School. Following the reduction in force made necessary by budgetary constraints, I taught for ten years at the Crystal Springs School in Assonet, MA as a Special Needs teacher. While rewarding, I missed the challenge of more literary pursuits and began teaching evening classes at a local communuity-based organization. My tutoring experience had its inception in that setting.
