Work History
Educator
Grayson County Board Of Education
05.2009 - Current
I was a member of one of the most successful teams in the building. I worked closely with individuals from four surrounding counties as we journeyed to maintain excellence. The value of teaming was demonstrated by superior state testing scores.
During this time, I functioned in a leadership role as a liaison between teachers and administrators. It was my responsibility to organize meetings and ensure these meetings were running according to agendas I prepared.
I also became acquainted with many educators during my employment. Through my department, I developed precise and meaningful lesson plans which were shared throughout the building. My expertise was sought out by seasoned and new teachers.
During this time I also managed a variety of opinions and behaviors by mediating situations when they arose.
Each yearly observation I received during my tenure was scored exemplary, which is the highest level an educator can receive.
Teaching is a fast-paced, decision making environment. Because of this I have developed skills that will enable me to continue in this capacity.
Maintaining accurate records is mandatory. I am familiar with Excel, Microsoft Word and Publisher. I am also skilled at using Google Forms, Sheets, and documents as these programs were required of my employment.
Improved student comprehension by incorporating visual aids and real-life examples into lesson plans.
Developed and implemented differentiated instruction strategies for diverse learners, ensuring individualized attention and success.
Collaborated with colleagues to develop cross-curricular projects, enhancing student learning through interdisciplinary connections.
Provided constructive feedback on assignments, empowering students to take ownership of their learning and academic growth.
