I believe wholeheartedly that all students can be successful in the classroom regardless status or background. Accordingly, I hold my students to high academic standards, and expect great things of them based on their various ability levels. Additionally, I truly believe that education should be a meaningful experience that awakens, in students, a genuine desire to become lifelong learners. It is my personal and professional goal to achieve such lasting affects by facilitating an inclusive student centered learning environment that acknowledges students' personal, cultural, and academic interests. I am a graduate of the University of California with an unwavering commitment to educating and nurturing the minds of my students. I am currently studying at the University of La Verne to become a Secondary History Teacher. Throughout my academic career I have gained profound insight and

Kids need to feel comfortable and safe with the person who is working with them in order to relax and just try. I start where the student is and help move forward form there. I will repeat, show, explain in different ways, and validate the student's progress as many times as it takes. I can recognize the teaching moments, and I identify the missing pieces that will turn the light on for the key concepts. I love working with all ages, including adult learners and persons with disabilities. I became a Teacher as a second career after working in the field of psychology/counseling. Because of my background, I decided to become cridentialed in Special Education. I have taught RSP English and basic math for 7 years.

I have 9 years of experience teaching high school; all courses - AP Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra 2, geometry, algebra, pre-algebra (including special needs and english learners), and practical applications. Over the last 20 years, I have tutored students in all of the above subjects as well as elementary math concepts, writing strategies, and reading recovery. I am NCLB certified and focused on the defined national & state standards of each subject. I use Socratic questioning strategies and experiential learning to ensure that students understand why a concept applies rather than just memorizing formulas. I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style.

I enjoy seeing children discover the world around them in their own ways. Therefore, I teach the importance of working things out until you understand it for yourself. Children will meet and often surpass any goal that is given to them if you show that you believe in them. I use a hands-on approach, as much as possible, with a problem-solving emphasis. I firmly believe that a child remembers things more if he is able to work it out for himself. As a result, I take more of a mentoring position the older the child is. It was in this way that my daughter received both an AA and an AS degree the night she received her high school diploma. I began teaching at Hesperia Christian in 1995. First, I substituted and then taught part-time, two to four subjects a year: Advanced Math and Drama, 5 years; Biology, 1 year; and Advanced Drama, 3 years. When my son started seventh grade, I began h

Over the past 15 years I have had variety of different teaching experiences. I taught literature as a TA at UC Santa Barbara while studying for my Masters. I have tutored K-12 students in both Math and English. While studying for my undergraduate I assited in running a homeless shelter where I taught many of the children reading, writing, and math. I have a passion for teaching and am a mother myself and understand the true value of educating our youth. It truly depends on the student and the subject. I try to adapt my teaching style to what the student needs. If one approach is not working, then we can work together to find an approach that does. I believe that it is important for the student to be able to relate to the teacher and it is the teachers job to create that connection.

My greatest achievement is to have been inducted into "Who's Who Among America's Teachers" for four years by former junior high school students. Students in the top 15% of their high school graduating class are allowed the priviledge of nominating one teacher who has made the greatest difference in their lives. To be remembered as this person is the greatest of all honors. This illustrates my passion for teaching our youth. I have 22 years experience teaching grades 4-12. I have taught all subjects as part of regular education, special education, English Language Learners, Gifted and Talented, At-Risk, and Retention programs. I am dedicated to bringing out the best in our youth so that they may enjoy successful and happy lives. I am dedicated to instilling knowledge and providing the means, or tools, to acquire knowledge.

I have worked variously as a technical writer and editor, substitute teacher, and computer technician, but always returned to teaching. I possess a single subject credential in English, and I have recently completed a Master’s Degree in Cross-Cultural Education at National University where I maintained a 3.9 GPA in my graduate studies. My capstone project on the effects of test-preparation strategies on English language learners was one of the most rewarding projects I have completed and I strive to put that knowledge to use to help students do their very best on high-stakes standardized testing. To continue forward with my learning I am now enrolled in an Educational Technology certificate program through National University as well.

I am a life-long learner with a sincere desire to increase knowledge.
