Work History

Lead Teacher

Montessori Visions Academy
Las Vegas, NV
05.2008 - Current

I've been a Montessori teacher for over 16 years. I've been teaching students ranging in age from 2 to 6. In my classroom I'm responsible for providing guidance in a classroom that offers self-directed learning, monitoring each student, assessing their learning, and ensuring each child’s individual needs are met. I'm responsible on planning lessons that develop their student’s social, intellectual, emotional, and fine-motor skills. I'm also responsible for creating nurturing classrooms that offer students several stimulating, engaging activities throughout the school day. Here a some of my responsibilities:

Developing lesson plans, as well as independent and group learning activities
Acting as a positive role model for students, building trusting relationships and demonstrating honesty, accountability, and respect.
Maintaining a safe, clean classroom.
Monitoring and assessing student progress through testing and observation.
Meeting with parents on a regular basis to discuss student successes and attitudes
Keeping the classroom stocked with necessary supplies and making sure all equipment is in good repair.

In addition to my bachelor’s degree in Psychology I'm a certified Montessori teacher.

Also I do have a CPR, AED and First Aid, shaken baby syndrome, signs of illness, bloodborne pathogens, child abuse and neglect, emergency preparedness, transportation safety certifications, TB test and sheriff''s cards also.

I was born and raised in Brazil. I've been here in United States for 18 years.
