First Grade Teacher, Nbct
CurrentMy first grade students come from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of language abilities, from beginning English Learners to fluent native speakers. I continue, as in the past, to provide differentiated instruction in all subject areas and English language support to all students in order to foster learning and progress. The needs of the first graders are met through collaboration with the first grade team together with the long hours spent daily in analyzing data, researching best practices, planning, and creating materials, with the purpose of implementing lessons that encourage student participation, creativity, teamwork, and independent responsibility.
