I have extensive past teaching experience in the Alternative Education field having taught Social Studies at the now defunct Concord School of Opportunity for nearly five years and one year of teaching Social Studies and English at the defunct da Vinci Institute's Learning Center. Unfortunately, I saw the sad end to both aforementioned alternative education schools as both districts decided to do away with their alternative education programs.
I truly enjoy the challenge of working with alternative education students. You work with the misfits, the kids who for one reason or another can't cut the traditional classroom setting and structure. Many have been kicked out of numerous traditional schools and we are usually their last resort. Others are just in search of something different. In the end all alternative students are seeking a curriculum and a delivery of the curriculum which works best for their needs. With the knowledge I have gained through my past experiences and education I feel I can assist all my students in reaching their goal of graduation.
I received my Bachelor's Degree from Spring Arbor University in Secondary Education with a Social Studies major and a English minor. With my previous work with struggling students a Master’s Degree in Reading seemed like a natural fit. I am currently working on finishing my K-12 Reading Specialist Master’s Degree so I can better serve struggling students and continue assisting them in reaching their future goals and dreams.
I am looking forward to working with you to achieve your goals,
