In teaching sixth-grade math to a team of 61 students in the 2021-22 school year, I prepare lessons by differentiating Everyday Math Curriculum for three different sections. As a long-term substitute in the third grade at Bridgeport Elementary School, I transitioned from virtual to in-person teaching. I worked as a co-teacher virtually, as a single teacher of a virtual classroom, and as a single teacher of an in-person classroom. I have worked to make the transition to in-person as smooth as possible for students, communicated with parents, planned for lessons with grade-level colleagues, and encouraged students to follow COVID pandemic policies in school. I tailored lessons for my class and had more than 50% of my class reading 1000 sight words and 25% of my classes advanced in reading level by the end of the 2020-2021 school year.

As a tutor in various subjects for different children of various grades, I had to design a curriculum that would strengthen their academic weaknesses. This was started by communicating with parents on what skills their child needed the most assistance with. In working with individuals during lesson time, I navigated the lesson with any behavioral needs or disabilities in mind in order for the child to arrive at success. Feedback from parents commonly consisted of improvement in school grades and more A grades on report cards after these lessons.
