I believe that a teacher's adaptability is the most essential skill. A teacher's style should be evaluated as often as a child's progress. All people develop at an individual pace and style so it makes sense that information should be presented in a manner that actually communicates to each child. Coming from a special education background, it is my belief that every person has the ability to learn. Adapting curriculum for each student would be ideal. For special education this is called the individual education plan. Tutoring, supplemental education, and individual attention to students help to provide this specialized, possibly ideal, situation. Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the l

I am a very patient person and that is reflected in the way I teach. I love working with children and find it very rewarding. I believe that every child can learn, and I strive to help each child reach his/her potential. Education is so important. My goal is to help students believe they can achieve and give them the tools to do so. From a young age, I loved to read. I was fascinated by words and how the brain processes information. I earned a degree in Psychology and upon graduation took a position in a reading clinic. I was trained in the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program, which remediates dyslexia. I worked one on one with students ages 4 to adult. I continued this work for ten years, during which time I also provided tutoring in writing and language arts. After this time, I was a stay at home mom, homeschooling my children. Most recently, as my children have entered public scho

I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My goal is to facilitate my students to become independent learners. I employ Socratic teaching methods. I don't give answers. That's too easy. I have found that students retain learning when they work through the solution. I offer students skills to ask questions about their world. I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutored midd

I enjoy working with children and have a great rapport with them. I start by identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses. I am able to successfully differentiate instruction and promote self esteem. I feel that all students deserve the opportunity to excel to their fullest potential. I have been employed as a Special Education for 7 years, working with students aged 2-18. I have taught in many settings including self contained, inclusive, homebound, one on one, and small group. I owned and operated a private school for 4 years and homeschooled 9th graders prior to my experience in public school.

During my five years of undergraduate work, I was very involved in the area of child education and care. I was a volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Wisconsin, where I worked on elementary basic skills and study skills with an eight year old boy with autism. I also tutored a ten year old boy and a six year old boy in all general areas of study during my summers, with an emphasis on reading comprehension, grammar, and organization and study skills. My studies at the Universite de Caen Basse-Normandie, in Normandy, France, enhanced both my comprehension and my expression of the French language to the point where I would be confident teaching the building blocks of the language to children at the elementary, middle, or high school level. I currently work at Easter Seals of Southern Nevada Early Intervention Program as a Child Developmental Specialist. I provide what is called "speci
