I am well versed in differentiated instruction, am creative, and always get to really know my students and their learning styles so that I can help them. In addition to my teaching experience, I have given many workshops on the Common Core State Standards and know what is required to be successful on state tests.

I am willing to do whatever it takes to help a student advance as long as the student is willing to put the effort in themself. I believe that education must be self-owned - that students have to claim their right to an education by demanding to be challenged and working to meet that challenge.

I am not in class or asleep, it is an office hour. I believe that it is my duty to be as accessible as possible. I believe that all of my students find comfort in the fact that there is someone they can turn to for clarification on a myriad of topics.

I am currently teaching in a first grade. Here I am the lead teacher in an inclusion classroom with one aide including ESL, special and regular education students. I enjoy teaching students using different learning styles while incorporating technology on a daily basis. I also am an Early Interventionist. I provide services to children with certain developmental disabilities or delays from infancy to age three.
