My objective for this website is
to provide a place for prospective employers to come to learn more about
myself and my job qualifications. As I pursue my career further I would like
to convert this web site into an interactive learning environment for my
students. In its completion there will be links for students to
investigate material from class, as well as communication tools for
parents and community members. I am a strong advocate for integrating
technology into the classroom and I hope to demonstrate this via my
website.
I graduated cum laude from West Chester
University’s accredited elementary education program. I have
accumulated significant teaching experience at the kindergarten grade
level, in both suburban and urban school districts.
Currently, I am employed as a kindergarten teacher
at Chester Community Charter School. My classroom consists of
twenty-seven urban students from challenging backgrounds. I am able to
maintain a well managed community which honors each of their individual
needs. This environment demands creativity, flexibility, and most of all
patience.
Last year I held a position as building substitute
at Indian Lane Elementary School in the Rose Tree Media School
District. In this position, I worked daily in a developmental
kindergarten class composed of students diagnosed with autism, ADHD,
ODD, ED, Down’s syndrome and William’s Syndrome. I enjoyed the
challenges of this classroom and adapting curriculum to meet the needs
of many different types of learners.
