Experience
I have 6 years of teaching experience. I have professional teaching certificates in elementary ed, special ed and literacy ed. I have been working in both charter and public schools across 3 different states. I have received strong professional development both at my graduate school and school districts. After 5 years of teaching in the classroom I moved into a specialist position, where I pull children for at-risk intervention or for special education services. I have been coordinating the special ed program for a year and have a wide range of experiences to make me a great tutor for younger children. I have received 3 permanent teaching certificates through NY and RI. I have been fortunate enough to receive specialty trainings in various intervention programs and curriculums, some of which include: Leveled Literacy Intervention, Applied Behavior Analysis, PECS, TEACH, Wilson reading, Foundations, Stern Math, Words Their Way, Teacher's College Reading and Writing Workshops, etc.

Hobbies
I am a fresh, energetic and experienced teacher looking to teach elementary school, particularly in the areas of Special Education and Intervention. I strongly believe in a teaching environment that promotes learning. I think this can best be accomplished in a classroom in which the children feel at home and are unafraid of mistakes. Each child should feel part of a team, supported by their teacher and by their classmates. I have had felt the greatest satisfaction watching with pride, a child making strides in his academic growth and social development and knowing that I had a role in contributing to this self-confidence through my guidance and support. My goal is to help students to love school and to believe in themselves. teacher Zumba, ski and sail. I am a teacher and a student of education, open to change and accepting of different views and concepts. I have studied in Rhode Island, taking education courses in Sicily and in my senior year of college I studied history in the Institute of Fine and Liberal Arts at Palazzo Rucellai, in Florence. I chose to study and live abroad so as to make the most of my education while widening my perspective. These experiences have added to what I can bring to my classroom and students. I am also a firm believer in extra curricular activities. I played various sports throughout my childhood years and through college. Some of which included dancing for a ballet company, racing in sailing and skiing and now teaching Zumba after-school. Children who are involved with school activities and teachers who can be seen outside the classroom, both enhance school spirit and pride. Such activities and interaction deepen the bonds between the school, faculty and students, and allow for each student to maximize their educational experiences. This year I received a Masters of Science in Literacy Education and a Post Masters Certificate in Special Education. Being that I have taught previously in Rhode Island, Washington DC, and New York, I have been able to develop an understanding on both individual state standards and Common Core Standards.
