With over eighteen years of dedicated experience in elementary education, I possess a comprehensive background in instructional best practices and curriculum development. I currently hold a Special Education license in the state of Illinois. In my previous role as an elementary educator within New York Public School District 32, I was responsible for the creation and delivery of mathematics curricula across multiple grade levels, specifically third through sixth grades. Over the course of my career, I have consistently designed and implemented innovative lesson plans and assessment rubrics, ensuring meticulous alignment with Common Core standards. Additionally, I have served as an afterschool program instructor and contributed actively to the Planning Learning Community (PLC), demonstrating a sustained commitment to collaborative educational excellence.
