| About Me |
|
I have grown
up in Suisun, CA and am looking forward to working in the Solano County
area. I have two older brothers and 45 first cousins. I
attended San
Diego State University and received my B.A. in Economics. I am
attending UC Davis and will be receving my Multiple Subject teaching
credential in June 2007 and M.A in Education March 2008. I began working in a kindergarten classroom my senior year of highschool. I have gained ample experience student teaching and substitute teaching in Kindergarten, 2nd grade and am currently working in a 6th grade classroom. I now know that I will be happy and ready to teach in any classroom K-6. My passion for teaching goes beyond the academic world and into the performing arts. I began dancing when I was 11 years old and eventually began teaching at the same local studio where I grew up. I now have been teaching dance and choreographing for national and regional competitions for the past 9 years. Dancers in my company learn the concepts of dedication, committment, professionalism, and good work ethics that they are able to apply in all aspects of their lives. My Performing Arts experience will be beneficial to my future students and school. |

| Philosophy Statement |
In
my experiences I have come
to believe
that education is essential for the success of an individual. This does not mean that every successful
person graduates from college, for one may receive their education
elsewhere. Education comes in various
forms and methods and from all sorts of venues and sources. It is easy to derive examples of those who go
on to successful careers upon receiving their M.B.A from an accredited
university. However, it may not be as
simple to identify
those who became successful immediately after high school or sooner.
One who
goes directly into a family business or moves up the promotional ladder
of
their after-school job are prime examples of people who received an
education
imperative to their success outside of the collegiate world. I
believe that there are several factors that can contribute to the
educational
growth of an individual. Some factors
work to advance the educational process and may even supplement for
other
factors that may negatively effect the individual’s educational growth. Education is not a result of just one factor,
the results of an individual’s education derive from the collaboration
of
administration, teachers, parents, and students. The
value placed on education is directly
correlated to the values and examples set forth by those involved with
the
student’s educational process. Parents
are the most
important they
provide experiences, models, and beliefs. I
do not intend to imply that a student who does not have
a strong
parental relationship will not succeed. I
just simply believe that the parents support and
involvement has the
greatest effect positive or negative on the student’s educational
history. This is an example of when one
factor can
supplement for the negative effect another factor is having on the
individual’s
educational accomplishments. A teacher,
sibling, or counselor can provide the extra support needed when a
student
learns bad habits from unsupportive parents. Each
educational process is unique and dependent upon
multiple factors. Education contains
teachers
and students
whom play multiple roles. Every
individual plays the role of teacher and student throughout their life.
Everyone learns new things everyday and with each new experience.
They are learning from co-workers,
instructors, friends, and children. Everyone has their own set of
experiences and knowledge
that have been
arranged in a way unique to everyone else in the world. No two
people are identical and therefore we
all play the roles or learners and educators throughout our entire
lives. Education should be
dependent
upon the
community and environment. I find it
important for a Californian to learn more about earthquakes than one
