I am an experienced elementary educator holding valid teaching licenses in Colorado and California. I chose to work in the teaching profession because I love to watch the sparkle in a child's eye when they are learning. It is especially rewarding to witness the "light bulb" moment a student has when they begin to grasp a new idea or concept. As an educator, I am committed to providing students with a safe and nurturing learning environment. I believe that all children are individuals each with their own unique learning styles. My goal is to create students who succeed in school and ultimately become life-long learners. In my classroom, I can be observed utilizing many best practice learning strategies, such as The Four C's, brain based learning, and small group instruction with the gradual release of responsibility.
