Hello, I have taught early childhood education for 22 years. I was part of the pilot pre-k program in Georgia and taught pre-k for 18 years before moving to kindergarten. I taught there for 2 years and moved to first grade this year.
I believe that instruction for young children should be developmentally appropriate with experiences that lend itself to hands on learning.
Teacher of the year in 2011. Teacher of the month in 2013
B.S in Education; Masters in Curriculum and Instruction through The University of Phoenix
I would like to add a technology degree and broaden my understanding of using this knowledge in my classroom.
