Summary
My educator skills have been enhanced by working and volunteering in the classroom. Throughout my experiences I have planned daily and weekly lessons for students ranging from ten to forty students in my class. I also have in-depth knowledge of technology such as smartboards and computers which allows myself to use these devices as a learning tool for my students. These effective and researched based skills I have learned help me teach my classes, while focusing on the individual needs of each student.
