I have a Bachelors of Science in Education with an Emphasis in Early Childhood from Northern Arizona University. I have been teaching since January 2014 - I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd grade and 3rd grade to a diverse population in Phoenix, Arizona. In addition, I am experienced and certified to teach ELL or ESL. I found that staying after school to teach the parents the English language and how to accomplish the classroom goals made the world of difference with what my students could do as well as the parent's comfort level helping at home and in the classroom.

I also taught Math and Writing to a 2nd/3rd grade combo class in Wyoming where I learned to teach one whole group lesson that reached several levels and then pull smaller groups or individuals aside to hone in on skills they needed to further develop that the whole group didn't need. Also in Wyoming, I spent time as an Interventionist for 2nd grade through 5th grade. I pulled reading groups from their classes to work with them for 30 minutes at their individual reading level. In these groups, I focused on different skills depending on the type of book we were reading or what their classroom need was. I constantly assessed and moved students to the reading group that was appropriate for them. In addition, I sat with kids in various grade levels to work on specific Math skills. I worked with kids on counting money, telling time, elapsed time, addition, subtraction and multiplication fluency, how to word problems different properties of addition and multiplication, and more.
I also worked as an English teacher for 7th and 8th grade. Grammar, parts of speech, sentence structure, how to punctuate, how to write with dialogue, how to cite sources are just a few of the skills I worked on with individuals and that was in conjunction with teaching the major standards for the grade level (such as, identifying theme, symbolism, and using different poetic devices).

I spend a lot of time finding the right lessons for the right students as I feel motivation to learn is a key factor in reaching students who lack the ambition to give their education the energy it requires to be successful. I believe success is for everyone and will be achieved when the right tools are used.
