CURRICULUM VITAE

As a seasoned educator, I find joy in reflecting on my past achievements while eagerly seeking new avenues for growth. With a heart full of pride for the lives I've touched and the minds I've shaped, I stand ready to embark on fresh adventures in the world of education. Like a gardener tending to her beloved plants, I've nurtured young minds to flourish and bloom~ over 600 of these young minds, it's time for new challenges and adventures. As the seasons change, I'm excited to explore new horizons and cultivate new fields of knowledge. With gratitude for the past and anticipation for the future, I embrace the opportunity to continue making a difference in the lives of students, wherever the journey may lead.

I prioritize fostering a learning environment that values choice and independence. Recognizing each student's unique pace through patience, kindness, and perseverance are essential. Emphasizing progress over perfection encourages continuous improvement, and meeting goals on one's own timeline is celebrated. Ultimately, the goal is to nurture individual growth and self-discovery in a supportive educational setting.

Regina,

Congratulations on an outstanding final observation that beautifully showcased your years of dedication and expertise. Your lesson planning demonstrated a deep understanding of both the content and the individual needs of your students. You anticipated potential misconceptions with insight, drawing on your experience to ensure that each student was supported and able to engage meaningfully with the lesson. The activities you planned were not only engaging but also carefully differentiated to meet the diverse needs of all learners in your classroom. Your ability to utilize your knowledge of Spanish and Japanese to assist those students with following directions and being able to complete the task was remarkable.  Additionally, your strategic use of questioning throughout the lesson provided frequent opportunities to gauge student understanding and provide feedback which gently guided them toward deeper insights.

It was my absolute pleasure visiting your classroom. It is evident that you love what you do and although it seems to come to you so naturally, it is clear that you put great effort into your work. This final observation is a testament to your impact as an educator. Although I am new to Greenvale, it is obvious that you have consistently created a classroom culture that celebrates learning and encourages growth, and that you have done so with professionalism, patience, and care. Walking into your classroom, one can feel the dedication, warmth, and easily recognize the exceptional skill. Thank you for the lasting contributions you have made and continue to make for your students and colleagues. I look forward to visiting your classroom again. Thank you!

The rest is still unwritten.
