I have just over 30 years experience as an early childhood educator with a proven track record at Bossier Parish Schools, excelling in classroom management and fostering early childhood development. As a grade level team, we met weekly for developing collaborative skills to enhance curriculum quality and integrate special needs children. With the collection and study of data, we developed more inclusive learning environments as well as fostering social and emotional growth through positive reinforcement.
