...became a passion throughout high school, and I wanted to continue this idea into adult hood. Immediately upon graduation, I landed my first teaching job in Plymouth Meeting, PA at a school for children with emotional exceptionalities. I then switched gears into a public middle school in Haddonfield, New Jersey. I continued along the special education track at this school, but found there was an incredible void in my life. Being young and wanting...... The objective of education is for a student to realize his or her own potential for learning and strive to continue lifelong learning. Learning should not end once the school day is finished or the summer arrives. The main purpose of education is not only to take the education gained, but also to grasp the process in which the learning took place. While curriculum information is easily forgotten, the skills acquired will last a lifetime and will prove to be more imperative to success. It is important to promote these skills by differentiating instruction. By differentiating instruction, every student has a chance to find their outlet of learning and will have a chance to succeed in the classroom. Centers are a great way to achieve this idea. Students are able to chose tasks they believe will help them to be successful in completing. Centers are also a method for students to understand more about themselves and their own learning styles. Along with centers, the use of technology in the classroom is imperative for daily lesson planning. Whether it's showing an informational movie to introduce a science lesson, or to post a K-W-L chart on an overhead to allow every student easy access to the information being written down. Technology is an integral aspect in today's society, and students need to become familiar with the resources technology has to offer. Technology also helps students to become aware of not only their classroom and school community, but also the world community. Being conscious of world issues in an age-appropriate context is very important for students' learning. They need to be able to see both sides of a conflict or event. For example, when discussing World War II and the atomic bomb, it is imperative for students to feel the same impact the citizens of Hiroshima felt on their lives. When students are able to feel empathy for others, they are able to apply the same skill in the classroom setting. The teacher serves to promote individuality of the students. The incorporation of culture and interests into lessons is an asset to a successful education. It is the duty of the teacher to ensure each child brings from the classroom a plethora of knowledge about him or herself along with the information gained. The teacher must ensure each student has an equal chance to succeed in the classroom by accessing different facets of new information and technology.

Lindsay: PARCC test prep instructor
I am a passionate educator with a love of learning and teaching! I have three years of teaching experience (grades 1-5) at a technology school. I understand that each individual student learns differently and I have ample experience finding resources and instructional methods to match the needs of each learner. I hold all students to the highest expectations and believe that all children are capable of success.... My philosophy is centered around the core concept of teaching children how to be problem solvers. They need to know how to approach and think about any given problem. It is okay to make mistakes, as they are learning opportunities. Persistence and confidence in oneself as a learner are the key skills to ensure success in life.
