TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Instructor/Grader/TA/Supervisor Utah State Univ/ Weber State Univ. UT, Fall 2015 – Current Mother, Smith Household, Layton UT, Dec 2019-Present Elementary School Teacher, Davis School District, Utah 2014-2022 Curriculum Writer, Davis School District, 2018-2021 Congressional Intern, United States Senate, Washington D.C., 2014

MY TEACHING STYLE

Education is constantly evolving. As such, one’s teaching philosophy should also constantly evolve. Effective educators must never accept that they have arrived at the “perfect model”. That being said, there are a few concepts that I consider fundamental to my philosophy of teaching. First, as the authority on key skills and competencies, the role of a teacher is to facilitate learning experiences and provide support and feedback to guide student learning. Second, the student should direct their own learning in authentic, personalized scenarios in which they are given the structure to take ownership of their own education. Third, teachers should provide cross- curricular opportunities where students learn to collaborate, communicate, and reflect. Above all, students should be taught to analyze, interpret, and apply information. Doing so will provide students with the skills they need to interpret the world around them and make decisions for its betterment.
