OBJECTIVE
I am currently in
the process of a career change. Corporate
positions are no longer fulfilling to me and I find myself looking for a
meaningful and lasting career where I can utilize my people skills, love
of children and community involvement and really make a difference to
young minds. In past professional roles, including that of College
level Professor, I have exemplified the pertinent qualities that a
teacher of young people must have. Namely: commitment, perseverance,
responsibility and creativity. I respond well to the company of
children, especially those with challenging personalities. In the past I
have taught at the College level, but since becoming an Aunt to my two
nieces and two nephews (ages 14 months thru 9 years), I find being
around children to be rewarding, fun, and a wonderful experience.
Through substitute teaching at the Temple Beth Sholom Schools; Goldie
Feldman Academy (GFA) and Justin Lee Wiesner Early Childhood Learning
Center (JLWECLC) and tutoring through ClubZ! In-Home Tutoring Services
(3rd grade and 5th grade math and language arts
for the FCATs), I have discovered that children relate to my outgoing,
warm, happy, optimistic outlook on life. I have received positive
feedback from the teachers as well as from the assistant directors and
they have encouraged me to pursue a teaching career. I am looking
forward to a future in teaching.
I am currently
enrolled in the Accelerated Teaching Program at Manatee Community
College. I have passed three exams and am signed up to take the
remaining exams this summer. I have completed two courses; Classroom
Management and Instructional Strategies. I have also taken the required
45 hours for my CDA certificate to continue substituting at the
Justin Lee
Wiesner Early Childhood Learning Center.
