- I have successfully managed a classroom of up to 13 students, aged four to five years, encompassing a diverse range of learning abilities and personalities. My classroom management skills have enabled me to deliver effective instruction, and foster consistent student engagement. The majority of my responsibilities were carried out independently, without the support of a paraprofessional. Additionally, I maintained regular communication with parents regarding their children's achievements, behavior, and academic progress through both in-person meetings and telephone conversations. The following were included in my daily routine:
- Adapted instructional techniques according to student learning styles and progress.
- Planned and implemented lessons using various teaching strategies to meet diverse student needs.
- Encouraged parent involvement by providing feedback on student achievement at conferences or meetings.
- Instructed and assisted children in eating, toileting, and resting to help develop healthy personal habits.
- Planned and implemented developmentally appropriate activities to engage Pre-K students in learning.
- Created and enforced child-based, hands-on curriculum to promote student interest and receptive learning.
- Promoted language acquisition through storytelling or interactive play activities.
- Controlled classroom environments with clearly outlined rules and positive reinforcement techniques.
- Built and strengthened positive relationships with students, parents and teaching staff.
