I am pursuing a teaching position in Honolulu, Hawaii. It is where I was raised and it has long been a goal of mine to come back home to teach. I'd like to share all that I have learned while teaching in San Francisco with the students in Hawaii. As an educator, it is my goal to create a motivational and supportive learning environment for my students. Using an authoritative classroom management style, I provide clear expectations on socially acceptable behavior and responsibilities pertaining to education and well-being. In addition, I have the ability to differentiate and adapt curricula to match the levels of learners I interact with. Lastly, using Modern-Social teaching approaches, I enjoy integrating current technology, incorporate hands-on learning through curriculum driven experiences, and encourage cooperation and presentation skills through partner/group projects.Specialties: California State Board of Education Content Standards pertaining to Math, Science, Language Arts, & Social Studies; Creative Arts in dance; School Representative to Educators Union (UESF); schoolwide events planner
