• I have been very successful in giving interactive parent workshops with my two classrooms of children and their parents. These interactive workshops motivated parents to become part of the team as educators to help their child learn at home. I have given numerous workshops with the majority of my parents participating with their child as I demonstrated numerous exciting interactive learning activities. Parents were motivated as they were allowed to take these activities home along with all the items required for their use. Parents were successful and excited about teaching their children how to incorporate reading skills at bedtime, studying letters, sounds and sight words along with math skills. Only printed packets we are required from the school district.
• incorporated ESL teaching strategies that allowed Spanish speakers to learn English and understand skills taught.

• I was very successful as a reading and language arts teacher to two different classrooms of first grade children. These two classrooms went on to third grade and took their star test. I am proud to say that these two classrooms scored the highest scores on the star test in the history of the school district. When they left my classroom all children knew their pre-K, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade sight words. Several children were reading at a third grade level. Others were reading above grade level. Only two children of the 40 were reading slightly below grade level. However, these children had learning challenges.
