Elementary School Teacher

• Jul 2018 - Nov 2022

I teach 5th grade at a Title 1 elementary school that primarily services poor, minority communities. I have heavily implemented the tenets of Social Emotional Learning to fortify this group of often neglected and abused students with the tools to improve self-awareness and emotional maturity. With a frequently impervious language barrier, I have learned to harness new technology and media to effectively communicate ideas with students and parents. I have also acted as Team Lead and Induction Coach to a new teacher where I conducted observations, analyzed their strengths and weaknesses, and developed a plan to improve instruction quality.

I challenged students to apply their new knowledge to brainstorming solutions for greater world problems.
