I am Well versed in developing and providing small group instruction working with tier 2 and 3 math students to improve SOL scores and advance reading and math levels. I input and use data from the Power School program to track students progress in intervention programs as well as SGAs, Unit tests and SOL data. I am trained in Math Recovery, Bridges and Delta Intervention programs to fill gaps in students' learning and use those programs in small groups to close gaps in students' math skills. I also create and use games and activities in the classrooms to review and practice math standards.

As an English Language Arts teacher for 6th grade. I developed lesson plans that ensure the attainment of state learning standards using a guided reading structure as well as small group instruction,that included both reading and writing groups. I also coordinated lesson plans with other teachers to maximize cross curricular possibilities that address the standards both reading and writing standards. I used leveled text to differentiate and improve reading levels, vocabulary and critical thinking. Providing differentiated instruction, both small group and whole group is paramount using Blooms level questioning, leveled text and vocabulary and spelling. I assessed and evaluated students' progress using Performance Matters program. I consistently maintained parent contact and prepared individual student achievement reports in order to participate in the RTI process in order to individualize instruction for tier 2 and 3 students.
