I absolutely love education. I knew since high school that I wanted to educate little minds, and watch my students soar to unbelievable success. I have taught Elementary Education for 6 years, and I am proud to say that I have never had a student retained. It was in the full-time teaching process that I realized that my true joy was small group differentiated instruction in reading. I believe reading is the most important, yet hardest task a child has to accomplish. I am an avid reader, and I strive to make my students not only readers and positive test takers...but lifelong readers! What more can I say? I love to teach! I am very blessed, and wake up everyday so proud that I chose this dedicated profession. My student's success is my true paycheck.
I have a very unique ability to teach different learners in many different ways. I have an all around thematic approach which includes embedding math, science, history and other academic content into reading lessons. There are so any elements to reading, and I feel that I have trained excessively in regards to low achieving students, common core, phonics, differentiated instruction, ESE, behavior management, fluency, comprehension and enriched vocabulary. I have over 120 training component points, and have taught a summer writing camp for 4th and 5th graders. I also embarked on the Student Inquiry Project, creating my own book club which I was able to present to hundreds of other teachers around Pinellas County. I have published poetry, and graduated top of my class.
An outstanding Common Core tutor understands the curriculum inside and out, and plans accordingly for every lesson. My planning is the key to my students success. If I know who they are and how they learn...Then I can plan accordingly, individualize instruction and meet their needs. Common Core is a new Pinellas County adoption, and I have trained and prepared myself for this new adoption. A positive environment, proper assessment and planning make great potential learners come alive!
