12 years at Benton Harbor Area Schools, Benton Harbor, MI; taught 7th and 8th grade math; taught all subjects to 4th, 5th, & 6th graders in a self-contained Montessori classroom that later developed into three team-teachers teaching in a departmentalized fashion with my responsibilities being science (using Scott Foresman texts) for all three grade levels and social studies (using Harcourt Horizons: United States History text) for 5th grade; I have a middle school math endorsement (math and science are my passion!); continued to increase student MEAP scores in science; participated on curriculum writing for the district for many years; participated on Science Olympiad commities including student participation and school event......are we to give a resume here??? :)
varies for the student - some need repetition; some need individual attention; some just take off on their own and only need guidance; I hope to encourage life-long learners who try to find the answers for themselves...
