Summary
I am seeking a full time teaching position in early childhood through sixth grade. My goal is to foster creativity and higher-order thinking in order to increase student performance. It is my belief that my teaching style will inspire innovation, engage students, and excite them about learning. I plan to apply various developmental and educational theories to my instruction, incorporate technology, create a positive and safe learning environment, connect with students on a personal level, adapt lessons based on interests and abilities, and encourage students to continue on their journey as lifelong learners.
