ZS@zaksharif
Flexible problem solver with extensive teaching and curriculum design experience.
United StatesI am an experienced educator with a strong background in philosophy and mathematics. Over the past decade, I have held various teaching positions, including adjunct lecturer roles at multiple institutions, where I have designed courses, created engaging content, and provided constructive feedback to students. My commitment to fostering a positive learning environment has been a cornerstone of my teaching philosophy.
In my recent role as a Transition Coordinator, I have honed my skills in writing and editing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and training staff in IEP writing. My experience as a middle school math teacher allowed me to develop and implement differentiated lesson plans that cater to diverse student needs, ensuring that every learner has the opportunity to succeed. I thrive on creating experiential learning opportunities, such as adventure trips, that enrich the educational experience.
