在普通学年，我是一名全职教师，将批判性和创造性思维融入到K-6的课堂中。在成为一名教师之前，我有丰富的经验辅导各个年龄段的学生，从二年级一直到研究生阶段。我教过小学、初中和高中的美国历史;中学阶段的世界史;小学阶段的地球科学和阅读;以及小学和研究生水平的写作能力。我最喜欢教授和指导的科目是任何与历史有关的东西——研究不同的视角及其对后来的决定的影响是我发现真正迷人的事情。我在乔治亚州亚特兰大市的奥格尔索普大学获得了英国文学学位，辅修了历史，并在俄勒冈州尤金的太平洋大学获得了教学艺术硕士学位，主要研究儿童早期和基础教育。将来，我希望在一所教育学院教有抱负的教师。教书是我真正的爱好——我相信学生应该与尊重和肯定他们的人一起工作，帮助他们发展自我效能感，并推动他们发挥自己的潜力。 To that end, I adapt my teaching methods to fit the student, and always seek to apply what we're learning to real-world situations. In my spare time, I am an avid reader - books about historical events and education are some of my favorites, but I also enjoy popular fiction. I love attending Nats games, although I'm an Atlanta Braves fan at heart, and like to follow various college and pro sports teams, including the Oregon Ducks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Portland Trailblazers. When I can, I try to get outside and stay active as much as possible. A personal goal I have for myself is to run a 5K within the next 6 months.
