basketball I began my basketball career as a student assistant coach at The University of Arizona for Legendary Coach Lute Olson. I received my first head coaching job at the age of 29 at The College of Lake County in Illinois. I have also scouted for two NBA teams on a per game basis. elementary (k-6th) I have been teaching K-8 for the past 11 years. I began teaching as an AIDE for LD/BD kids. Then, I taught PE/Health for 7th grade. After that, I taught one year of PE for grades 3-5. For the last 5 years, I have been teaching 3rd and 4th grade. I teach all of the subject areas and use technology everyday in the classroom. I try to use meaningful strategies for all learners. I have found that my students really enjoy when I use show video clips of subject areas before we get into a lesson. For example, we may be working on Fractions. I will show a clip for 2 minutes before we do the lesson. From there, the students are engaged and ready to start. powerpoint I have used PowerPoint for the last several years. Many of our classroom projects are done using PowerPoint. For example, we have done animal and weather research projects and menus. I let students explore all of the possibilities that PowerPoint offers. They like to use different fonts, clip art, and templates. I also use PowerPoint to show homework assignments in my classroom. The kids like the different colors and pictures (Animated clip art) that I use.
