Experience

1. Elementary School Teacher

   East Windsor Regional School District

   Aug 2023 — Present · East Windsor, NJ, US

   Recognized for creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where all students—regardless of needs and ability—are valued, engaged, and able to thrive.• Design and deliver whole-group, small-group, and individualized instruction in general education and ICR settings, using intentional differentiation to support high-achieving, on-grade-level, and academically or behaviorally challenged students. Experience includes students with IEPs and diverse learning profiles, including advanced learners who benefit from enrichment alongside support with regulation or abstract thinking.• Extend and enrich learning for advanced students, while scaffolding instruction to support learners with significant academic needs across both general and special education.• Explicitly teach social-emotional skills, model positive interactions, and embed trauma-informed practices—including behavior-specific praise, token boards, visual schedules, and classroom praise trackers, where students receive recognition from teachers and peer “scouts”—to build predictability, emotional safety, and a strong, inclusive classroom community.• Collaborate daily with special education staff, service providers, and families to align instruction with IEP goals, track progress, and ensure meaningful inclusion.
