My contributions have better enabled CMP to achieve its goals of meeting state educational standards using methods guided by the Montessori philosophy. During the four years that I served as Supporting Teacher, I brought structure to the classroom. -Established routines and behavioral expectations for classrooms -Oriented 22 students on assignments and schedule during class meetings -Tracked student’s completed work and sent home work when needed As the network’s first Garden Coordinator, I established an outdoor classroom where students learned about the natural world, engaged in heavy work, and found calmness. -Presented implementation plan to campus’ teachers and staff -Collaborated with teachers to schedule weekly garden time -Guided students in physically redesigning garden, building soil quality and growing seasonal flowers and vegetables -Partnered with parents to locate and move tree stumps into seating clusters -Founded after-school Garden Committee in which 65 students participated -Purchased essential tools while staying within program budget -Updated parent community on progress through weekly newsletters -Shared template for establishing garden program with other campuses As the campus’ on-site Distance Learning Coordinator, I ensured that the teachers’ children attended all of their zoom classes, finished their homework, and followed covid safety protocols. As a Club M Team Lead, I helped the after-school program meet its enrichment goals. -Researched, prepped and taught daily, theme-based activities for both upper and lower elementary students -Oriented 45 children on upcoming activities during daily meetings
