      Jumpstart is a program where we worked with 3-5 year olds in Head Start preschools. We would host two structured sessions weekly with planned activities for the preschoolers and then spend the rest of the week in their classrooms with them. I was a Corps Member the first year, Team Leader the second year and an Office Assistant to the program director the third year.

      Additional School Instructor

      I collected data for learning communities and administrators to determine areas of success and areas needing improvement while specifically focusing on struggling AYP areas for Algebra. I used the data to assist the administration in determining what areas need improvement and implementing instructional response with the assistance of teachers. In this position, I met with the head principal and assistant principal weekly to provide updates and data reports.

      During my three years at Linbergh I taught Accounting I, Accounting II, Graphic Design, Personal Finance and Study Skills. I was also a sponsor of FBLA, which is a student business club. I coordinated Curriculum Night annually which was a night for incoming freshman to see all the classes Lindbergh had to offer. I also sat on two committees, Sunday Night Lights Planning Committee and Superintendent Council Committee. While working at Lindbergh I coached the Nationally Ranked Dance Team. I oversaw 40 plus girls, created and managed a budget of approximately $40,000, hosted one of the largest dance competitions in the state of Missouri, and hosted a five day camp annually over the summer.

      Marketing Educator

      I taught Introduction to Marketing, Information Systems and Economics & Personal Finance while at Fairfax. I loved bringing practical concepts to life for my students while preparing them for their future. I was part of the Innovation Institute at Fairfax where I worked to increase technology use at Fairfax High School by supporting the BYOD initiative, use of Google Apps for Education and sharing useful technology tips with other teachers. I was also the Collaborative Team Leader for the Economics & Personal Finance teachers to determine desired student outcomes, assess student growth, participate in dialogue regarding data of common assessments, and develop intervention plans for students. I presented at two different professional development sessions sharing ways teachers can incorporate Google Apps in their classrooms. I also received my Google Educator Certification and am excited to share all the ways Google is progressing the education world. Meno dettagli
