At Even Start, my role was “Parent Educator”. I made weekly home visits to each family enrolled in the program. I would also conduct Parent Education classes in a classroom setting once a week with the parents as well. At the home visit, I would:

• Model basic pre-k learning literacy exercises, then have parents model the exercise with them as well. Utilized many sensory companions, tactile items, songs, etc. to assist with retention.
• Designed assessments to measure student progress and helped to determine students' needs. Noticed a 65% increase in comprehension and retention by the end of the program.
• Weekly, I would conduct a Parent Education class with only the parents. Topics included: -The importance of Family Engagement -Parenting Styles -Types of Behaviors -Setting Limits -Mental Health

• Used a variety of teaching methods, including visual aids and technology to help students understand the material better. I believed in conversation and practice. It’s important to be able to adapt the style to meet the needs of the student.
