Summary
This past year, teaching 5th Grade, years of payroll management, small group instructional support, substitute teaching and coaching softball have prepared me with the professional responsibilities needed to be an excellent teacher. Beyond my academic and professional qualifications, I will also bring to this position my passion for education, my eagerness to learn and grow with the students, and my determination to always be motivational and innovative. My goals will be formulated and prioritized to ensure that the teaching is engaging and is consistently aligned with the standards of the state as well as the goals of the school and stakeholders. My goal driven, positive and helpful character will be noticed not only in the classroom but throughout the school as well.
