My Teaching Experience

I have taught people of all ages, many different subjects over my entire life. I taught at an Urban High School in Rochester, NY, where my classes included Biology, IB Health, and various computer classes. I have taught continuing education computer science classes in an adult classroom. I have also tutored Biology and Algebra I students through the Internet. Currently, I teach Biology, Earth Science, Health and AP Biology on-line with Aventa Learning.

My Teaching Style

As a science, Health and computer science teacher, my students participate in inquiry based learning and critical thinking activities through the use of technology to aid in classroom management and retention of curriculum. Through the use of technology, I am able to assist all students and overcome many of the traditional challenges of that both regular education and inclusion students present in my classroom. I use alternative approaches to learning on a daily basis. These approaches include hands on learning experiences, the use of PowerPoint presentations, the Internet, streaming movies and video clips. My PowerPoint presentations have been made to be both informative on curricular topics and visually stimulating for all students. 100% of my students prefer to receive and discuss new topics via PowerPoint (compared to reading textbooks, lectures, or copying information off of the board). I have found that this method works extremely well with both mainstreamed and inclusion students. When I taught in a traditional HS, I provided a notebook with all the slides for students who needed to take a second look at a slide or were absent for the day.
