TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught for five years. I taught fifth grade for a year, a third-fourth split and straight third for the other years. Before I received my teaching license I worked with a preschool and an afterschool program that served Title 1 students K-6. I have been selected by my district to lead professional developments on the language arts and math common core. There, I trained teachers of all ranges in the new standards.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in using Whole Brain Teaching. It actively encourages students to participate in a fun, yet controlled, manner. Students learn more when they are speaking, explaining, and showing all at the same time.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I received my Master's degree in Instructional Design and Teacher of the Year award from my school district.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I received my Bachelors from the University of Utah. While there, also received my English as a Second Language (ESL) endorsement. Two years later I graduated with my Masters of Education, Instrucational Design.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I love what I do! I find it thrilling to come to work every day and help my students learn and grow. I love finding new and exciting ways to teach my students that are researched based and tied to the common core. My email is: cassie@create-abilities.com.
