Dependable Teacher with success providing educational assistance and instruction to various levels of learners. Committed to building relations and providing students with necessary tools to achieve academic goals, instilling love of learning and cooperative teamwork.
As a Resident Teacher with Geraldine Johnson School I was fully immersed in the day to day operations of a second grade classroom, from the weeks leading up to the first day of school through the very last day of classes. Prior to the first day of classes, I worked with my mentor teacher to plan methods of classroom management which I was able to execute over the course of the year, emphasizing and rewarding positive behavior to help build relationships. I have had the opportunity to plan and deliver lessons for the whole class as well as planning differentiated instruction for small groups. I have also been fortunate to be able to input grades for report cards and participate in parent-teacher conferences. As a member of the Geraldine Johnson School team I have had the opportunity to participate in Professional Development offered regularly over the school year. Much of my Professional Development time has been in Hill for Literacy as well as programs such as Move This World and HMH IntoMath.
