I take great pleasure in helping all the children in my class to reach their full potential, and also try as best as possible to accommodate the diverse backgrounds and learning styles in my classroom. My notable job achievements, skills and involvement include but are not limited to: Discipline and classroom management: I have excellent skills for effectively managing discipline.

I also have excellent skills and experience in class intervention, as I have developed Individual Support Plans within my classroom, as well as have experience in holding extra intervention classes.
