Summary
My desire to teach and be in a classroom has always been prominent. Adapting to students' needs and supporting them by using different teaching methods is a challenge I look forward to. Building personal relationships with students that builds their confidence and abilities is a strength of mine. I look forward to supporting the school’s mission of creating lifelong learners through an engaging learning environment that celebrates each students’ unique talents and strengths. I will graduate in December 2024 with a degree in Elementary Education and Special Education as well as two years of hands-on experience as a paraprofessional in a SPED Resource room and in three 2nd grade Inclusion classrooms where I am doing my student teaching. Proven ability to support students with exceptionalities, assist in implementing IEPs, and provision of individualized support. I am passionate about creating an inclusive learning environment to promote student success and well-being.
