"Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not a preparation for life but is life itself."

~John Dewey

Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I hope that you will find it informative, and that it will give you some insight into who I am as a teacher.                             

 

For the past five years I have taught in preschool classrooms and have dedicated myself to becoming an exceptional teacher. During this time, I have diligently worked to complete my Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education and my certification in Special Education.

 

In my current position, I have found teaching preschoolers to be both challenging and rewarding. I feel my experiences have helped me to develop strong abilities which will serve me well in teaching both regular and special education students. I have developed the confidence to encourage my students to take risks and the ability to instill in them a love of learning. Working with such a wide range of ages, three to five year olds, has given me countless opportunities to carefully prepare and adapt lessons to suit the needs and learning styles of my diverse class. I have learned how to successfully manage these different abilities, while maintaining high interest levels within all of my students. I truly could not ask for a more rewarding career, and I am always open to new challenges within my field.

 

The following pages of this site should help you to further understand my accomplishments, goals and pedagogical beliefs. It will also enable you to see the dedication and commitment that I have to my profession.

 

Please enjoy the rest of my site, and feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
