I taught kids ranging from ages 6-14. I also had the opportunity to be a classroom teacher and teach a couple of middle-school electives during the academic year as contracted by a school. I worked closely with my employers and colleagues to help develop and refine the curriculum throughout the seasons. I also helped test a virtual online classroom system that was being developed due to COVID-19 and assisted in adapting the curriculum, teaching approaches and strategies, and assets to suit the new online landscape.
