elementary (k-6th)
I would like a certification to teach elementary school subjects. I hold a MA in Education, as well as a BA in English, So i feel qualified with subject matter. I work well with children of all ages, and though i teach high school, I have so much fun with the little ones. I am patient, kind and able to hold the attention of a student.
ESL/ESOL
I am writing to request a certification in ESL. i have worked for the Los Angeles Unified School district for the past 15 years or so. In that time, in addition to being a full time teacher, I have worked as a Developing Readers and Writers Course Expert. I have worked with students who are having severe difficulties in reading and writing, and are far below grade level. Most of the students have been ESL students. It is certainly not because they are not smart, it is more of a language barrier.
I believe that every student can succeed, they simply need the right toos to do so. With my patience, and skill, I can help these students. I will take them from the level they are, to the level they need to be.
