English Language Arts Teacher

I have currently spent over 350 hours in a variety of school settings. From private school to public, first grade to twelfth, I have seen it all. The majority of my experience has taken place in a suburban middle school, however I have also spent a reasonable ammount of time working with inner city high school students. I double majored in college to recieve a bachelors degree in literature and writing, and spent a full year interning at a student run newspaper as a journalist and copy editor. I have tutored middle school students with a variety of learning disabilities, as well as SAT prep for high school students. I am currently registered for a series of NYS tests to earn my certification to teach.
I believe that real learning takes place when students are actively engaged in the material. Finding the right materials to teach with will often inspire intrinsic motivation.

Seek first to understand and then to be understood.

I have taught English at the secondary school level in New York City. I have also worked for publishing companies and edited books, magazine articles, and press releases. In the last decade I have worked within the State University System of New York in the grants and contracts field. I have written grants and administered grants monies for program use.
I enjoy an interactive style with students rather than relying on teaching straight from the text book or using a lecture format.

Creative Writing is one of my top subjects! As an English teacher for students with a wide range of competencies and learning profiles, I used creative writing as a tool to motivate students to "think outside the box," and use photographs, paintings, every day objects, random words in a book, and free writes to jumpstart their thinking and create stories and poetry utilizing their higher level and critical thinking skills.

Ever since I was in Honors English in high school back in the seventies (yes, I am a "well seasoned" teacher versus "an old teacher"), I knew that I wanted to dedicate my college years to taking every writing and literature class I could get my hands on. Once my composition was chosen as the "model essay" in my English Comp 101 class at Adelphi University, and was read by students for many years after I graduated, I knew that I meant to be a teacher and share my love for literature, writing, and "coloring outside the lines," inspiring students to be reflective, thoughtful and creative readers, writers, thinkers, and speakers. I have over 15 years experience teaching students in grades 5-12 and my greatest asset is teaching students with very diverse skill sets and cognitive abilities.
My teaching style is based on student-centered, social-emotional learning, where my core values ar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As A recent graduate from a Liberal Arts School, I found it easy to connect with teaching as my calling. I have always driven for high levels of excellence in and outside the classroom and work force. Having an English and Philosphy background, I find it easy to critically think and annotate extensively works of literature. And from that I find that my skills are up to par due to writing research papers and annotating other people's work. My experiance as a student teacher at a private school in rural VT, allowed me to expand the pupils' minds to outside their comfort zone in order to learn about the world we live and the connection it has to literature.
Teaching is not for everyone, but I knew it was for me when I started student teaching and felt the adrenaline rush of 25 eyes staring up at me for guidance. I feel the need to spread as much knowledge as possible to the up and com ... read more

My style of teaching is predicated on the knowledge that each child is an individual learner. Identification of students needs makes teaching more interesting to both teacher and learner. I also like to have the child discover the importance of an education. Answer the need to know what's in it for me? Motivation!!!! After finding the motivator the rest is easy. Keep the lesson relative and fresh. I prefer an interactive environment where the child is immersed in learning. Tactile combined with book-learning. Read it, then experience it.
After graduating from Baruch College, I worked in the inner-city Catholic School of Brooklyn. I taught 8th Grade English and had great success turning non-writers into eager learners. I was also the Math coordinator for grades 5-8. I have tutored college entrants having difficulty with essay writing. Most recently, I taught 5th Grade in a local cha ... read more

I utlize diverse assessment techniques in order to achieve maximum learning by the students. I understand the importance of determining a child's intrinsic/extrinsic motivators. I believe that a teacher may indeed be the center toward which the students will gravitate. However, I perceive my role of teacher as one of guidance. I have adopted many evidence-based practices with respect to effective teaching. I have strong organizational skills. I believe that in establishing consistent guidelines at the outset and stating the importance of every activity, I will demonstrate to my students respect for their presence and time. It is my objective that each student will learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.
I am an educator with a repertoire of abilities that I will continually seek to hone. At the core is my ability to create a safe and nurturing enviro ... read more
