...vocabulary and a lack of contextual understanding. I encourage students to learn new words as an act of discovery and record each in their personal list, which they can take pride in enlarging. Contextual understanding can be achieved by offering stories and sharing the process of exploration and discovery, both online and in books. Writing, where many students have the greatest difficulty, should be enjoyed as an expressive activity, not dreaded as a mysterious and...

Since graduating, I have...

It was also critical in honing my abilities as a facilitator who successfully engages participants and adapts instruction to meet diverse learning styles. I am...

...with students. I enjoy getting to know students on a personal level, enabling me to push each child to his or her fullest potential. I am a strong believer that individualized instruction is the key ingredient to academic success. When I am not in the classroom, I am either listening to music, watching a Yankee game, reading, or am found guilty of online shopping. However, I try to incorporate my hobbies into my classroom as...

Again, if a student can learn the greater importance of an event or of an author's main argument and styles, they learn more than basic information to repeat in a test: they begin to master the information and use it to approach new material with greater preparedness. I always want the learner's outcome to be a compoundable skill. For students learning to read and write better, I believe it's...
