RELATED COURSES/EXPERIENCE
Tutored students in Mathematics I have worked as a tutor to help high school students with mathematics. I work one on one with the students to help develop math skills to improve the students grasp on the math curriculum. Social for Non-Majors This class helped to develop my knowledge of the Social Studies Program of Studies. I also became familiar with different social studies teaching strategies and different types of assessments (formative and summative) to use within a social studies classroom. Science for Non-Majors In this class I was able to use my science knowledge to create hands on lessons, lesson plans, and a unit plan. I was able to learn hands on approaches to the science curriculum in order for students to be engaged. Communication Technologies in the Curriculum In this class I became familiar with the ICT Program of Studies and different strategies to incorporate the outcomes into lessons. This class was very beneficial as the learners of today are 21 st century learners and the use of technology in the classroom is an important aspect to engage the learners of today.
