Summary

While teaching at the Daniel Boone School District, I've enhanced student comprehension and engagement through innovative lesson planning and a deep understanding of Latin culture. My approach, blending empathy with effective classroom management, has significantly boosted test scores and fostered a positive learning environment. My love of teaching and ability to interact with students is something I have missed for a long time. I look forward to getting back to a career in education.
