Summary

Throughout my career, I have contributed to impacting educational outcomes for students through effective organization, prioritization, and execution of clearly defined benchmarks, organized activities for learning with formative assessments, differentiation of student lesson attainment, and non-traditional formal assessments. My skills and qualifications are an ideal match for thel Science Teacher requirements, and will bring immediate value to the ACC school classroom. Previously, in my Science Educator role, I exercised a scaffolded approach to problem-solving with students. I am independently motivated, yet I find it inextricably necessary to participate in team efforts and collaborate productively within groups. Additionally, I am knowledgeable in academic advisement and collaborating with academic administrators, with proficiency in group and individual tutoring. Because my professional goals align with ACC schools mission and values, this opportunity is especially exciting. I believe my enthusiasm, student-centered instruction, and goal attainment abilities will support and drive your continued organizational success. Capable educator with over 16 years of experience in the science teacher role. Excellent classroom management, lecturing and behavior enhancement skills. Collaborative in working with teachers, administrators and specialists to support all student needs. Organized high school teacher with 16 years of experience teaching over 1,600 students. Skillful in monitoring large classrooms and cultivating positive relationships with students. Proficient in monitoring student academic progress, administering and grading assessments and maintaining detailed, complete student records. Dedicated to providing balanced, engaging learning environment for all students.
