Enthusiastic Student Teacher with good leadership and interpersonal skills. Talented in providing strong quality instruction and creating positive learning environments. Dedicated to helping create inclusive, stimulating and learning-focused classroom environments. Familiar with different instructional approaches and technology options used in Art classrooms. Knowledgeable about curricula, lesson planning and individual student mentoring approaches.
I understand the reality that very few of the students I teach will want to pursue Art after High School. My goal is to leave all of my students with a positive experience of art and an understanding of it's importance within the world. Art is all around us and can benefit every student.
I attended as a shadow teacher at Sugar City Middle school once a week. Along with two other peers, I observed the teacher and assisted in instructing the students. We assisted the school with the art show. I created in depth lesson plans and executed them. I improved my teaching abilities from the feedback received.
Alongside a peer, we created a lesson plan highlighting collage for 2nd graders, then adapted the plan for 5th graders. We presented the lesson plan to both grade levels. I experienced first hand how the different grade levels executed their projects. The highlight was how exciting it was for them to make connections between themselves and art.
