I graduated from Freed-Hardeman University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in Education and from Grand Canyon University in 2011 with a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction: Technology. In 1996 I completed two graduate level reading courses from Georgia Southern University. I am also glad to state that on January 10, 2015 I added to my Texas certificate the 154 ESL/ Supplemental certification. Previously, I taught for the Clayton County Public School System in Georgia, and I had the pleasure to influence the lives of many kindergarteners, second graders, fifth graders and seventh graders. This past school year, I taught second graders at the Sabinal Elementary School located in Sabinal, Texas, and I have a letter of recommendation from Mr. Joe Marks.
I am confident that I can offer outstanding reading comprehension building lessons, exceptional phonic lessons, mathematical lessons, and technology integrated lessons. I can also offer professionalism and team building encouragement.
I had the opportunity to work in Japan as an ESL teacher. I have twenty-five years of teaching reading, vocabulary, and writing classes.
In our fast paced society students are not shown details but are expected to identify the details. Many assume that if the child can see the forest that he can see the individual trees. Many times I have found that this is not the case. The child needs to be told and helped to see the details.
