"With a degree in Elementary Education from the University of Houston and ESL certification, I bring over 34 years of experience in teaching diverse student populations across 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades, as well as specialized ESL and Gifted & Talented (GT) programs. Throughout my career, I have consistently created and implemented lesson plans aligned with both state and district curriculum standards, ensuring high academic expectations and meaningful learning experiences for all students. My approach to instruction includes a broad range of teaching techniques designed to address varied learning styles and ability levels, allowing me to differentiate instruction effectively and support individual student growth.

In addition to my classroom experience, I have designed and led numerous professional development workshops for fellow educators, sharing best practices in instruction, curriculum planning, and student engagement. I have a strong commitment to building positive, supportive relationships with students and their families, fostering a collaborative environment that enhances student success. I have also provided one-on-one and small group tutoring, further reinforcing my dedication to meeting the unique needs of each learner and maximizing their potential in and out of the classroom." less...
