Engaging Experiencs

My first formal teaching experience was back in late middle school. I worked at the Frontier Culture Museum as a member of the John Lewis Society. My responsibilities included interpreting the German farm house, cooking, gardening, and tending to the animals. Once in High school I worked as a Sunday School teacher with children ages six years old to fifth grade (one room school house style) giving lessons from the Bible including but not limited to the armor of God, how to pray, the lineage, birth, miracles, death, and resurrection of Christ. I also became involved in a local preschool where I taught and cared for infants through age five children. At school, I was a teacher’s assistant at the Shenandoah Valley Governor's School and taught mini lessons during junior orientation while assisting teachers with their presentations. During the summer I am a member on the planning committee for Cave Hill Day Camp where I prepared materials, lessons, schedules and games for the week long camp. In the past two years I have become increasingly involved by becoming a camp counselor responsible for teaching skills to units of 20 girls, and overseeing counselors in training as well as counselor program assistants. For the past year I have worked through Longwood University tutoring students in Spanish 105 and volunteered through a local church to tutor children at risk for dropping out of school.
