My Teaching Presentation

The intended audience for this presentation is my sixth grade special education students and their parents. This would be shown at orientation before the start of the school year. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce myself to my students and their parents. I included a brief description of my educational history, goals, and hobbies. In addition, I introduced my teaching philosophy. My primary focus is literacy using any modification necessary to help students succeed. I completed this assignment in Prezi because the graphic are great. Using Prezi also gave me the opportunity to learn a new software. Prezi offers a variety of tools to make a creative presentation. This software is user friendly. Vernice

Welcome to my Blog

I graduated from Lakeland Community College in May of 2012 with an AA degree. I plan to attend a four year university to pursue a BA in special education this fall. I am currently learning Spanish at CSCC. I am certified by The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) as an Independent Provider in the role of a Personal Care Aide (PCA). I have enjoyed working with these consumers. Working as a PCA has influenced my decision to become an educator.

I am in the process of becoming a special education teacher! The experience I gain in the classroom will be beneficial in understanding the journey of both students and teachers. I plan to work in the classroom for at least five years. My goal is to work in administration where I can influence and implement changes within our current educational system. Everyone deserves the opportunity to learn and grow. I am excited about my future in the education community.

I love swimming and water activities in the summer. I recently developed an interest in photography and theater; I have learned a lot about both recently. I also had my first garden last summer, I grew vegetables and flowers. Everything lived, it was a success! My favorite flower is the moonflower which blooms at night.
