Jun 2017 - Present
Working as a Science Teacher, I teach multiple core and elective subjects for different levels, including Life Science, Earth Science, and Physical Science Middle School Using Microcomputers, Middle School Weather Water WOW, Middle School Fantasy Football and Math, Elementary Chess Elective Courses, and High School ASL. I employ an innovative University-model, integrating the attributes of traditional schooling and homeschooling into a single teaching model in collaboration with staff and parents to foster continuous learning inside and outside the campus. I promote a growth-driven environment for learners to develop a conducive space for learning while delivering classroom duties and creating lesson plans for school and at-home virtual learning settings. I collaborate with students to reach learning goals, resulting in 100% academic success and zero parent or student complaints. I handle 150+ students yearly, assessing, grading, generating detailed report cards, and initiating constant parent communication. I capitalize on digital experience to manage 30+ Google Classrooms on off-campus days for science classes and elective courses. Additionally, I taught 8th Grade students from 2017 to 2022, broadening their understanding of various science concepts and systems. I obtained a Beginning/Conversational ASL certification in 2022 and developed a curriculum for a high school-level ASL course. Show less
