First and most importantly I am a mother of two wonderful children. My two sons are my inspiration. I am a single parent and I will do whatever it takes to give my children the best life possible and teach them how important it is to work hard and be successful citizens in their community. The best way to teach them is through my example. As a Christian I also believe in God and know He helps me and my family each and every day.
I have been teaching for the past 10 years. My experience has been Kindergarten through second grade. I have always wanted to teach since I was 5 years of age. Over the years I have taught in many different school settings including out of state. I've taught in private, charter, and public. Within these settings there have been different economic classes and populations. I have learned so much about children and how they learn as well as the challenges in teaching at risk students and high populations of ELL.
I decided to get my masters in innovative learning so I can be an innovative teacher and help all students. I want to learn the skills to help them succeed and enjoy their educational journey. I am continuing to pursue another masters program after this one in Educational Leadership. My hopes are to implement the strategies that are most useful with technology. I think that TPACK would be great to implement and training for all teachers would be ideal. I am hoping to be a part of some important future changes in education.
Our future depends on the success of our children.
