Common Core

I have worked with students in grades K through 8 working on Common Core strategies and material. I worked as an instructional aide for two years in middle school and high school settings to help support students in the general education environment, which exposed me to various grade levels and teaching styles. After receiving all the necessary credentials I began working as a Special Education teacher in an Elementary school. I worked as a Special Education teacher in this setting for 4 years. In the 4 years, I moved up a grade level every year with my students. This provided me with an opportunity to learn how to teach the Common Core curriculum for grades K-5. I learned that while using Common Core it is extremely important for students to learn how and why they arrived at their answers. In my tutoring, I am consistently asking my students to explain why and how we arrived at our answers. Through this practice, I have seen students become more confident when explaining their thinking because they are familiar with the terminology necessary to explain.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have worked with students with various learning disabilities in the K-12 setting for 6 years. I worked as an instructional aide for two years to help support students in the general education environment. After receiving all the necessary credentials I began working as a Special Education teacher in an All-Day Specialized Academic Instruction elementary classroom where the majority of my class had Autism. In this setting, my students were with me all day and went to the general education classes for a select subject matter. I am a Certified Special Education teacher with a Master's Degree in Education.

Homeschool

I have worked with students with various strengths and abilities. I worked as an instructional aide for two years to help support students in the general education environment. After receiving all the necessary credentials I began working as a Special Education teacher in an Elementary school. As a special education teacher I needed to adapt and customize my lessons according to the students' needs while continuing to keep the state standards in mind. This process taught me the importance of flexibility as an educator, which I believe to be a crucial part of homeschooling. Although, I have taught in the conventional schooling setting I am passionate about homeschooling as I see it as an opportunity for children to learn in a more personalized and flexible setting. I also have the understanding that homeschooling can be very similar to conventional school, but can also have many different styles and approaches such as Charlotte Mason, Montessori, Waldorf, and Unschooling just to name a few.
