I am currently in my 4th year teaching and am looking forward to beginning my 5th year in a new city- Greenville, SC! I moved out to Colorado nearly five years ago after graduating from the University of South Carolina with a BA in Elementary Education.
I was fortunate to find a job in Colorado teaching 4th and 5th grade. I taught upper elementary there for three years before my husband and I decided to pursue our dream of teaching abroad.
I received my TEFL certificate in the Fall of 2012 and found a job teaching in Spain, where I am currently living until June 2014. Teaching in Spain has been such a wonderful opportunity for me. I have enjoyed teaching English learners in Spain using a variety of texts, media, and discussion. It has pushed me to think differently about my teaching beliefs. Since September, I have been learning basic Spanish. I'm looking forward to continuing to learn more about myself and improve my teaching practice when we return to SC.
This portfolio presents more about who I am as a teacher. I invite you to explore the site to give you a better sense of my skills and approaches in the classroom.
I have also applied online through the Elementary Pool for Greenville County Schools and am in the process of transferring my Professional License from Colorado over to South Carolina. I hope to have my license within a month. Thank you for understanding.
