Whitney Henderson
@whitneyhenderson
Relationship-driven Academic Support and English Teacher supporting students with compassionate, structured learning.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Academic Support and English Teacher with a Bachelors of Science in Counseling and experience supporting adolescents, children, and families. I focus on building trust and using structure to help students grow academically and emotionally.
In my academic support roles, I foster student growth in reading comprehension, critical thinking, and written expression. I create individualized support plans, monitor student progress, and implement intervention strategies to meet diverse learning and behavioral needs.
I also collaborate closely with families to communicate student progress, concerns, and support strategies. Previously, as a Children’s Program Supervisor, I recruited, trained, and coordinated volunteers, developed age-appropriate curriculums, and updated childcare policies and safety procedures.
My internship experience in youth permanency strengthened my ability to support children through assessments, interviews, and case documentation. Across classroom and program settings, I lead with empathy, maintain safety and behavioral expectations, and build programs that encourage responsibility and long-term development.
