I worked closely with the teaching team and Assistant Principal of Academics at Cesar Chavez Middle School providing classroom instruction to a wide range of classes. At Chavez, I spent six months teaching 6th Grade Social Science and Langauge Arts and six months in a self-contained exceptional learners class of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders managing many IEPs and 504 plans. I spent many months working in an "Opportunity" class with students whom were at risk for expulsion or dropping-out. I also spent many months proctoring, collecting, collating, and interpreting various state standardized tests, in particular, the STAR. These experiences exposed me to and helped me thrive in classroom management, teaching strategies, special education, and lesson plan development. But the professional skills learned through this process may have served me even more: Flexibility, Working Under Pressure, Time Management, Adaptability, Teamwork, etc. All teachers should have to spend some significant time as a substitute. It is a great teacher.
