Summary
I have been a behavior intervention teacher the past 8 years. My goal was to work with students, faculty, and families to make the student succesful in the educational setting. The importance of social and emotional well-being and academics are an important focus for me. I worked at demonstrating the ability to de-escalate emergencies, enhance faculty collaboration, and promote positive school environment. I was able to meet with students in individual counseling and mediation, small group, and whole group lessons with a strong foundation in patience and organization.
