Leadership Experience

As a certified reading interventionist, I maintain a positive learning environment that enables all students to engage in hands-on learning, good behavior, and social and emotional development through various activities.

Communication Skills

As a certified reading interventionist, I have collaborated with colleagues to help make sure that every student that I pull is successful in the classroom. I am letting them know what I am working on their students with or sharing ideas with them that seem to be helping their students in my room. I talk to my students' guardians to let them know how their student is doing and some things that can be worked on at home.
