I have been a teacher for 10 years. I love my job. I love using technology to help engage my students. I design many lessons to use many different technologies. Trying something new and putting music to my lessons helps my students gain knowledge. I find that students can master the concepts that we have to teach for social studies in Virginia if we put music to the content! I am now an ITRT in Virginia. I am loving being able to create new materials on a daily basis. Change is good!
I am a very hands on teacher. I do love the whole brain teaching and I try to keep my students actively engaged. I also use a lot of music to teach content. The students love using technology and we all learn from one another!
My students returning to visit me is all the honors or awards that I need! :) Seeing them become successful is something that brings me much happiness. The Northern Virginia Daily ( the local paper) did recognize me as teacher of the Year in 2012. I also received an the "Rising Tide" award in Fauquier County 2015.
