Work History

2nd Grade Teacher

Faith Academy Elementary School
08.2007 - Current

MY GOALS FOR EACH STUDENT ARE:

  • Establish a relationship with parents, teachers, students and the principal through continuous communication that will assist me in identifying and developing each student`s gifts and learning style. When I noticed that my most gifted students were not being served, I became certified in the Gifted/Talented program at Region III. I started a Gifted/Talented Program at our school.
  • Develop a love for reading so that each student can read at a 3rd grade level by the end of the school year.
  • Encourage students to increase their social skills by working in groups and developing problem solving skills.
  • By spending so much time getting to know each student, and constantly asking the parents questions, I am able to develop an individualized educational plan for each student.
