I am a certified Early Childhood Educator with 28 years of experience teaching grades K-4 with a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. In addition I have had a successful business in tutoring and homeschooling.
My teaching style includes a multi-sensory approach and a hands-on method. I like to use the method of I Do/We Do/You Do in my teaching style. Teaching in small groups and individually is also a large part of my instruction throughout the day. I also use peer teaching as another method for student learning. My teaching style includes music and movement, charts, and differentiated instruction. I use a variety of ongoing assessments to monitor learning. Students help celebrate each others' accomplishments with class cheers as well. My teaching style also includes re-teaching and enrichment.
I have been chosen several times as teacher of the month. I have a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education.
I graduated from Calhoun Community College with an Associate's Degree, from Athens State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and from Alabama A&M University with a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I also completed several courses: from LA Tech University-Supervising Student Teachers, from LSUS-Leadership & Assessment
I am currently homeschooling a first and second grader.I have 2 beautiful daughters, a wonderful husband. I am passionate about learning and keeping myself knowledgeable in educating students. Reading and writing have always been my favorite subjects to teach. Knowing that my products are engaging and helpful is very important to me.
