My objective is to assist students in whole class, small group, and individualized environments in order to maximize student learning as a substitute teacher.
Work History
K-2nd Grade Teacher
2 Years 10 Months
Camptonville Elementary | 08.2023 - 06.2026
I taught first and second grade for two years, then Kindergarten (with support), first, and second grade for one year. I would provide independent activities to reinforce learning to one group while I provided direct instruction to the other - then I would swap. Kindergarten was pulled out for direct instruction in reading, math, and social studies. I would provide hands on activities for Kindergarten for the short period of time they came in before science time. For science, I would make sure to modify lessons to be inclusive for Kindergarten - with a focus on verbal discussion and hands-on activities. P.E. also was combined, and I made sure to modify certain activities for Kindergarten, which my aid would assist with while I instructed the whole class.
