What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to foster student growth and collaboration in a supportive educational environment.

I am a dedicated teacher with a strong commitment to creating an engaging and supportive learning environment for my students. My focus is on building foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, ensuring that every child receives a well-rounded education. I believe in promoting collaboration among students and integrating social and emotional learning into my teaching practices.

Currently, I serve as a Building Substitute Teacher at Fratt Elementary School, where I have honed my skills in classroom management and lesson planning. I have learned to adapt to various classroom behaviors and situations, fostering a supportive environment that encourages inquiry-based learning. My previous experience as a 1st Grade Student Teacher at Knapp Elementary School allowed me to develop engaging lesson plans that emphasize phonics and pronunciation, further enhancing my ability to cater to diverse learning needs.
