Experience

I have been teaching third grade for twenty years. Prior to teaching third grade, I taught remedial reading to grades K-5 for two years.

Teaching style

I firmly believe that the foundation of effective teaching lies in building strong, meaningful relationships with my students and embracing the principle of differentiation. By understanding the unique needs, interests, and abilities of each learner, I can create an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered. I hold high expectations for all of my students, and I am convinced that each one can achieve their fullest potential when provided with the right conditions, resources, and individualized support. At the core of my instructional approach is the belief that “less is more.” I strive for simplicity and clarity in my teaching tools and resources. I do not believe in overloading my students with unnecessary decorations or distractions. Through my Educational Technology Certification, I’ve learned the importance of being intentional with what I include in my instructional materials. Each element serves a purpose, supporting the focus on the learning task at hand. This minimalist approach ensures that students are not diverted by extraneous elements, but instead can engage deeply with the content. In my classroom, every decision is made with the goal of creating an environment where learners can thrive. I am committed to continuously adjusting my teaching strategies and materials to meet the diverse needs of my students, and I approach this task with the firm belief that every child has the potential to succeed.

My own education history

I have a Master's Degree in Remedial Reading and Language Arts, as well as an Educational Technology Certification.
