Maria Viera
Cooper City,FL
Summary
I am a loyal and dedicated people person. I set high standards for my students and work hard with them to achieve greatness.
I am most proud of the fact that my students are able to show learning gains, even if they come in low academically, I am able to move them up with fun, engaging, and meaningful learning activities. I pride myself in my ability to connect with them on a personal level, helping them not only raise their self-esteem, but their work ethic and motivation to achieve their goals.
The best part of working with me is that I am a reliable confident team player, I pull my weight and meet challenges head on. I thrive in a diverse population, enjoy learning about new cultures and hold a high respect for individual personalities and differences in thought.
“Mrs. Viera knows what it takes to move her students forward- it is not always laid out in front of you, but she is able to diagnose the foundational skills that are missing and build those up for students to succeed”. Dr Donna Kaye, Principal of Somerset Pines Academy- 6/2022
