Summary

I am a compassionate, creative and effective teacher with valuable classroom experience. My teaching experience ranges from second grade to fifth grade, with the majority of my experience in third and fifth grades. In fifth grade, I've taught in both a traditional and a departmentalized classroom. I work well individually or as part of a team. I am knowledgeable in SC College and Career Ready Standards and I have extensive prior experience in planning and instruction for diverse populations, as well as using data to drive instruction. I've had great success in helping students develop strong literacy, numeracy, social and learning skills. My accurate and organized record keeping is a plus for any classroom teacher. As a teacher, I am highly skilled at motivating students through positive encouragement and reinforcement of concepts with excellent behavior management. I value the importance of building a positive relationship with students and parents.
