1. Language Arts Teacher

   Aug 2014 — Present

   As a general education 7th grade Language Arts teacher, I have implemented the reading and writing workshop program using the NJ learning standards. I have also written and implemented a rigorous and engaging curriculum for the 7th grade Advanced Language Arts program. This curriculum included teaching classic and contemporary literature touching on important topics such as The Hero’s Journey, Civic Responsibility, and Social Issues. The program also included collaborative book club units and projects such as Ted Talks, podcasts, debates, and the creation of a writer’s portfolio. As team leader, I help manage a cohort of 100 7th grade students and guide the daily functioning of 6 teachers. I facilitate team meetings with teachers to proactively problem solve the complex social-emotional and academic needs of the middle school child. I regularly communicate with administration and parents to advocate for students to help provide a safe and productive environment for my students to achieve on an academic and personal level. As a teacher, I have been able to share my organizational skills by leading the following school programs-Coordinated the Medieval Times field trip for 600 attendees-Coordinated a school-wide Read Across America Day and Read-A-Thon-Coordinated a grade-level Literacy Celebration providing students with a hands-on workshop with published graphic novelist, Kevin Byles-Co-advise the MTMS Builders Club promoting service and leadership abilities in middle school students.
