years of professional experience

I am a recent graduate from Kent State University, just recently getting my bachelor's in Middle Childhood Education. I completed my student teaching at Tallmadge Middle School, teaching 8th grade math and science. I also have five years of experience coaching seventh and eighth grade students in cross country and track. My strengths as an educator are student engagement the relationships that I build with my students and athletes create an environment where they give all of their effort into what I ask them, despite their interests in the subject or the sport. Some of my other strengths in education are my classroom management skills and positive culture building..
