  As the PATHS Program Associate, I plan and implement lessons and creative activities that follow the PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) curriculum, to promote social and emotional development of children in grades 1-3 at the Youth LIFE After-School program. I determine topics based on the assessed needs of the individuals, gained from observation in various arenas. I measure program effectiveness through pre and post testing, and communication with teachers and parents.

Bopic Summer Program

• Group Leader/ Teacher

  • Jun 2012 - Aug 2014

  As a group leader in the Bopic Summer Nutritional program, I worked with a diverse group of 20-30 first grade (2012) and second grade (2013) students from low income families of Chambersburg, PA. I developed and led activities for my class that encouraged positive social interaction and character building while promoting acceptable school behavior. I assisted partners and encouraged participation in pre-planned Bopic activities (Field trips, Girl Scouts, etc.). The program demonstrated and reinforced the value of a nutritional diet and regular exercise. Show less
