Summary
Recent graduate of the University of Houston. I am confident in my ability to cultivate positive relationships with students to enhance participation and overall success, as well as enforce school rules and monitor student behavior in classroom and non-classroom settings. I emphasize the importance of establishing rules regarding behavior and expectations from the start of my time with students, along with consistently maintaining those standards throughout the year. Rules concerning the treatment of fellow students is one of my top priorities as students must feel safe to learn and express their thoughts. My greatest strength is a commitment to providing differentiated instruction to a wide range of students. I am eager to learn more as I grow as a teacher and accrue experience of my own.
