Classroom Teacher

• Jan 2000 - Jun 2007

My teaching career started in kindergarten at Dulles Elementary. I was responsible for teaching two classes of economically diverse students in half-day kindergarten. When the district changed to full day kindergarten, I was selected as the team leader for my grade. I taught all major subjects and created several learning stations for students to explore. My second position in FBISD was at Highlands Elementary where I taught 2nd Grade Gifted/Talented students in a self-contained classroom setting. I used many Project Based Learning lessons that encompassed all of the academic subjects. One PBL project was realized when I won a grant to purchase a set of artists' biographies for the school library. I served as the Campus Literacy Representative, and as a member of the SMART Goals Committee. I tutored 5th grade students in math and was a part of the Teachers as Mentors program, which provided a mentor for troubled students, one on one with a teacher. I was also a two time finalist for Teacher of the Year. Show less
