I taught 5 different classes per week, in each I would develop my own lesson plans to best instruct the children in my age groups. My youngest class were children between the ages of 4-6, and my older group was 7-12. I would teach the children valuable skills, and at the end of an 8-week class, would host a recital performance so parents could see what they had learned. I would interface with all parents directly, as well as worked with Special Needs Support individuals when applicable.
