I am permanently certified in Iowa and have been certified in California. In addition I have been background checked by the state.
My philosophy of teaching is that every child can learn to his or her ability. I believe that one needs to engage the child so that they have pride of ownership. The child and I set realistic goals and together decide how we are going to achieve them. This gives the child a sense of control and bolsters his or her self-esteem.
In addition to text book learning, I like to incorporate technology in the curriculum to allow the child a variety of sources from which to gather information. Since technology is such a big part of our lives today it gives the child transferable skills beyond the lesson being taught." less...
