OBJECTIVE

My goal is to stay involved in education, through teaching and extending my own learning. I want to provide a safe environment in which each student feels comfortable to become involved in learning. I want to help each individual student meet his or her maximum potential for the development of future citizens. Most of all I strive to help students gain the confidence and self satisfaction they will need to compete in a global society.

As a barista at Starbucks I have been given an opportunity to strengthen my customer service skills, as well as my overall communications skills. The fast paced environment of the store allowed me the chance to confidently improve on keeping calm in an intense and busy environment. These are the most valuable skills Starbucks has given me. I also preform daily tasks, such as making coffee, providing knowledge of our coffee and other products, and maintaing a clean environment for customers to enjoy.

May 2012 - Volunteered reading with 1st graders, Bishop Unified School District., Mr. Burgoynes class. I read with a number of students, in both one on one setting and in small groups. I used popcorn style reading and jigsaw, where each student takes a piece of the reading and puts it together in group discussion.

Spent a total of 90 hours in every content area, teaching 8 lessons total, including 4 writing lessons, 1 math lesson, 1 science lesson, 1 reading comprehension and 1 social studies. I created a thematic unit for this class but did not teach it. I observed and assisted on lessons that I did not write. I helped my host teacher with various small group projects throughout my experience. January 2013 - Currently I am working with a 4/5th combined optional class at Susitna Elementary School. I have assisted on whole class and small group lessons, and I am currently writing a thematic unit for this class.
