• Continually facilitate an open, consistent, and nurturing learning environment where students are motivated to learn and driven by their own successes and accomplishments.
• Utilize a variety of teaching strategies, including whole/small group instruction; individualized attention, inquiry-based learning, and exploratory learning in order to make sure students of all learning modalities are successful.

I would also like to add that I am an upbeat, positive person with lots of energy. I have good computer and writing skills. I am also confident, articulate, well spoken, a fast learner, hardworking, determined, enthusiastic, a great team player but also have good leadership skills. I also possess great communication and interpersonal skills. I also have an eye for attention to detail.
