Experience
I am currently substitute teaching at the elementary level in several districts near the Kalamazoo area (Mattawan, Portage, etc.). Last year I had the opportunity to hold a long-term substitute position in a second grade classroom at Woods Lake Elementary in Kalamazoo Public Schools from November 2015- June 2016. I made the choice to substitute teach after moving to a new location in order to network to obtain a new educational position.

I worked at Burr Oak Elementary school for three years. My first year there I taught 2nd grade self-contained; however, my last two years I taught only math and science to 1st and 2nd Grade. During this time I worked with staff, students and their families to make sure that every student was efficiently reaching their learning goals. I also used technology tools such as iPads and Promethean Boards in the classroom, while also assisting other teachers in implementing these tools.
