I see myself as a guide and a "project manager" for my students' learning, providing the support, advice, and tools that they need to achieve success. I believe that inquiry-based learning facilitates better retention and the development of a love of education that lasts a lifetime. Every student learns differently, but I believe everyone can learn and succeed. I am patient, considerate, friendly and helpful, and I am happy to adjust my teaching style to my students' needs and goals. I emphasize creativity, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills that extend beyond subject mastery to make a difference throughout my students' lives. I have a strong background in both science and the humanities. I am a National Merit scholar and hold a BS in Molecular/Cellular Biology and a BA in English from the University of Arizona, as well as a Master of Education (Secondary) from Arizona S

Teaching has been a passion of mine for some time. My general teaching philosophy and pedagogical approach is centered on active learning and creative thinking. I steer my students away from time consuming rote memorization and point them towards creative problem solving and promoting enlightened discussion. My enthusiasm for learning encourages and energizes students in the classroom. In closing, the thrust of my pedagogical orientation is to maximize course content in conjunction with outcome measurement, and to create a fun, exciting, and interactive learning environment. • Background in teaching and leadership– providing creative solutions and educational techniques for students in a nurturing environment, while applying knowledge in a multidisciplinary set of topics • Extensive knowledge in the topics of curriculum planning, creative learning tools, grant writing, community

I had the joy of raising, teaching, and mentoring my two children from birth and into young adult years and advising with unpredictable life experiences. My 10-year educational pathway as a non-traditional student challenged me to seek experiences in elementary grades (reading & writing tutor for six years), as well as, non-traditional students, teach English as a second language (ESL). I have experience in healthy lifestyle programming development-Bullying -(middle childhood), and -Darker Side of the Sun - (college level). I am all about making healthy lifestyle choices. It is my love for people of all ages, that drives me to see them become more confident, reach a higher level of competency, and experience joy and fulfillment. I use different tools to assess the best learning style of an individual, i.e., some learn best by listening, while others may learn best by touching and seei

SUNY Potsdam instructors provided me the opportunity to learn about and earn a Master's in Education with a focus on Reading and a BS in English Writing and Elementary Education. This journey began with an Associates Degree in Commercial Art from Sullivan County Community College. These areas of study have enabled me to teach in New York and Ohio as: Reading Specialist K-3, H.S. Reading Substitute, Jr. High Reading teacher, college instructor teaching College Reading, Developmental Reading, Developmental Writing and Comp. I for the past 17 years. Each of these experiences has helped develop me into the strong and confident teacher that I am. I am a life-long learner. I believe that everyone learns and take their learning style into consideration when developing lessons. My goal is that students learn the fundamental content of the courses I teach. But beyond that, I hope to foster c

I thoroughly love teaching as I come from a line of teachers myself. I have demonstrated that learning happens on multiple levels depending on what level one is working on. In my experience, I have learned that understanding is a process which involves listening, question and answer, humility, multiple approaches (including mixed media, visual and audio stimulus, humor, etc.), and a general openness to learn. Patience is key, and to learn is not just to memorize--it is to understand. Through the learning of the knowledge of relationships and the inter-working of things is understanding of subject material attained. We are all children, and as children we strive to break the barriers that close our minds. A good teacher knows how to ferret out these barriers that prevent our learning and open the doors to discovery and thought. It is with this knowledge that every student I have ta

As a foster parent, I tutored our first child as he progressed through kindergarten and the first grade. His previous school experience was lacking at best, and he had little confidence in his scholastic ability. I was able to pinpoint his natural aptitude--mathematics--and use it to help not only boost his self-esteem regarding academics, but also to tailor my approach to his other subjects as well. Since math is very much tied to logic, using logical constructs to aid him in his critical thinking proved fruitful in showing him how to solve problems regarding tasks such as alphabetization, grammar, and spelling, among others. Each individual has a unique approach to critical thinking, and using that approach is the best way for that person to learn. I make every attempt to identify a person's perspective so as to shape my teaching for that person in the best possible way. Whether s

I enjoyed teaching children and adults. It is always special to me to help another in learning and gaining the knowledge behind a subject. It goes beyond memory and I believe in practice makes perfect. I believe that a child or an adult can learn if the opportunity is there in some constructive form, considering the learning levels of the students. If I can help one student make a change in their life to continue growing in learning and prospering in that learning to become a pillar of the community, then so be it. One should never give up on the possibilities from knowledge. I have a variety of experiences in afterschool care coordinator, student teaching in first and second grades, Licensed/certified in Occupational Therapy. Practiced with MR/MHD children and adults in fine motor skills. Taught at a community college in first/second years students in Occupational therapy theories

My teaching style is inclusive of the hands-on approach. I believe that all students should have equal access to education. While that doesn't hold true, in the classroom, I encourage and appreciate students whom voice their opinion on a regular basis. I believe that all students also have a different approach to learning, and thus, they must be approached differently with different methods. Some students are definitely visual learners, while others are auditory or kinesthetic learners. Thus, it is important to acknowledge and implement different techniques to involve all students learning styles. As a graduate of Miami University's College of Arts and Sciences with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and a thematic sequence in Macroeconomics, I have the intellectual acumen to accommodate different types of students. Currently, I am a substitute teacher for Maumee City Schools and

I have tutored elementary level public and private school youth in various courses for 10 years. While my education focuses on criminal justice, my employment, training & volunteerism have enabled me to work with youth in a variety of settings. I am aware that educational success is greatly affected by cognitive ability. I’ve worked with school administrators regarding I.E.P.'s, 504 Plans, the progress of learning objectives, and addressing behavioral issues pertaining to learning to ensure proven academic development. Every youth has individual learning abilities and methods. The academic success of all youth depends greatly on the coordination of the service team to help in the achievement of their educational goals. I truly care about the success of each student’s ability to learn. My focus is on building the strengths of youth to supplement weaker areas. When tutoring, I use material

Currently, I hold a bachelor of history degree and I am working on obtaining teacher licensure at the Masters level in curriculum and instruction: AYA social studies. I believe that students learn best when they are involved in the process. Therefore I like to put students in charge of their learning-whether it is presenting information gathered for a presentation or helping to develop the topics that will be discussed in a particular unit; as long as they are involved and not passive in the process students will learn. I believe it is my job to act as a guide not a dictator in a students education.

I love helping people learn, especially kids. My mother is a teacher, and emphasized the importance of an education throughout my childhood. I have grown up with the benefits of a healthy learning environment, and I think every child deserves the same. I am friendly, patient, and relate well to children. I have a younger sister in high school and many of her friends' parents have come to me for help with their child's education. I have provided the positive, role model-like relationships that have enabled me to establish a rapport with them over time. I believe that for students to succeed in school, they must have a desire to learn as well as a support system that values education. If both of those things exist, success is inevitable. I value education to the highest degree. I graduated in May earning a BA in Business Administration with dual concentrations in Sports Management and Mar
