Work History
Substitute Teacher
Ocean View School District
08.2021 - Current
- In my first year as a sub for OVSD, I worked for the Virtual Academy with 7th and 8th graders. I graded student assignments, ran attendance, and took over instruction if the teacher was absent. Since the experience was virtual through Zoom, I also gained experience with educational technology.
- Followed lesson plans left by the teacher to support or guide students in learning the new material.
- Successfully managed classroom routines to create an effective learning environment and maintain consistent schedules.
- Repeatedly requested by teachers to sub for their classes again based on excellent conduct and trusted performance.
- Kept students on-task with their assignments through consistent monitoring and positive reinforcement techniques.
- Allowed for a safe and positive classroom environment that enhanced emotional well-being and academic improvement for all students.
Student Teacher
Fountain Valley High School
10.2022 - 03.2023
- Taught two classes of Spanish 1 and another two classes of Spanish 2 to a total of over 120 students.
- Created my own authentic lesson plans for students using different teaching methods and modern classroom technologies.
- Consistently added engaging activities and assessments that incorporated all three modes of communication: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational.
- Provided cultural connections to the material, like displaying places in Spain that I have traveled to in the past, or videos of Hispanic soccer teams playing in the World Cup.
- Conferenced with my master teachers on a daily basis about my performance in the class for a certain lesson, ways to improve, and strategies to keep students focused, interested, and productive.
- Monitored small group activities, while also providing one-on-one instruction to meet various student learning needs.
- Challenged students by speaking to them in the target language during class discussions, using mostly Spanish words that they already learned or were currently learning, and providing constant visual aids and gestures as I spoke.
- Formed meaningful, positive relationships with the administration, teaching staff, and students.
- Promoted a positive learning environment by delineating clear expectations from the beginning, enforcing classroom rules, and advocating students to treat everyone respectfully.
- Supported diverse learners with differentiated teaching methods accommodating to individual needs and abilities.
- Provided constructive feedback on student work by politely pointing out the errors in a non-discouraging manner, and by correctly guiding them on improvement to build their confidence in the material and their own abilities.
