Summary
I am a dedicated and passionate second-grade teacher in my seventh year at Cotulla ISD. Over the years, I have developed strong skills in lesson planning, differentiated instruction, classroom and behavior management, and student assessment. I’m committed to meeting the needs of all learners by creating a positive, structured, and engaging classroom environment. I work well with my team, communicate effectively with parents, and use organization and time management to balance the many responsibilities of teaching. I believe in the power of positive reinforcement and patience to help students grow academically and socially. I will be completing my Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction by May 14, 2025, further supporting my goal of helping students and teachers succeed.
