"I have my New York State permanent certification in Elementary Education, with an extension in English Language Arts - grades 7-9.

I have over twelve years experience in the classroom as a full time teacher, as well as a few years as a substitute. During my years in the classroom, I gained experience in grades kindergarten through eight. I designed and implemented lessons in all core subjects, as well as assessed the students' progress. I am aware of the common core standards and eager to help student achieve success.

Words that parents used to describe my teaching were : dedicated, knowledgeable, positive. Students described me as understanding, fun, and fair. Principals described me as passionate about students' learning, and progressive. While I loved being in the classroom, I am currently not teaching because I chose to be a stay at home mother." less...
