Project SPARK (Supporting and Promoting Advanced Readiness in Kids) focuses on identification of K-2 students with high academic potential. Their classroom teachers refer these students during the year to participate in a fun and hands-on summer program. As a teaching volunteer I worked with classroom teachers to implement an advanced mathematics curriculum, during which I gained valuable teaching experience. I worked directly with students during instruction, classwork, and other activities as needed. 2016 June 27 - July 1 Webster Hill School, West Hartford, CT Grades 1 July 25 - July 29 Highland Park School, Manchester, CT Kindergarten 2017 June 26 - June 30 Smith STEM School, West Hartford, CT Grades 2 July 24 - July 28 Highland Park School, Manchester, CT Grade 3 Show less
