I am not sure how to help you because I don't know what kind of computer you have. I have a mac, so I click on "preview", and then I either click "open" or "save file as" to save it to my desktop. If you need further assistance, Teachers Pay Teachers may be able to help you more. Let me know if it works.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I am entering in my 12th year in the teaching profession. I have taught grades 3 and 4, as well as a gifted program grades K-6. I am currently teaching 3rd grade.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I am a creative and passionate teacher, with much emphasis on Higher Order Thinking Skills. I previously instructed teachers in the Dimensions of Learning model, so that is evident in many of my units. With the push for test prep in school, I like to teach as thematically as possible to help the students uncover our curriculum. I find that the students make better connections and it provides a natural scaffold that way.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
In May of 2010, I received the Teacher of the Month award from my school district. My students nominated me, saying I "teach[ing] students that everything we need to learn is on our fingertips. She is smart, funny and kind." I have also been honored by the superintendent for putting forth extra effort with special needs students (both high and low), and a class filled with many behavior challenges. In my previous district, I was selected to train teachers along with my Superintendent/Asst. Superintendent for the Dimensions of Learning model. I also completed my thesis on comparing the Dimensions of Learning model with Full Option Science Systems vs. the traditional textbook in a science classroom. My shining teaching moments are always when that light bulb goes on in a students' head- the moment you know they've "got it", as cliche as that sounds.
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I graduated from Lebanon Valley College (Annville, PA) with a undergraduate degree in Elementary Education/minor in music, and I also received my Masters in Science Education K-8 from the same school.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I enjoy teaching dance lessons on the side, and I enjoy integrating the arts into my lessons and units.
