KRISTA WELCH
Buda
Summary
Capable educator with several years of experience in professional roles. Excellent classroom management, presenting and behavior enhancement skills. Collaborative in working with teachers, administrators and specialists to support all student needs.
In the 22 years I have worked in education I have been blessed with the opportunity to gain experience and adapt to different situations, personalities, and colleagues. I served under exceptional leadership and the guidance of a fantastic administration and department head, which influenced me to serve my students with a compassionate heart and strong expectations. I am always willing to strive to improve my skills, as each year I learn something new, and a more effective way to reach my students. I enjoy speaking with guardians on a regular basis and have learned that building a relationship early on is the most effective early intervention I can provide for a student. My first-year failures in classroom management taught me to live by the motto "What you come to accept; you better expect." I set high expectations for my students from the first day and in turn they excel.
