Skills
- Excellent communication skills and through years of parent and student interactions I have great problem solving skills
- As an EAL teacher I have worked with students and parents who have often had very little English and I have helped them and never allowed the language barrier to interfere with my role or tasks
- I have had many resource classes and students who have struggled with both attending school and/or classwork I have always encouraged and helped students who struggle in the classroom and praised them for even the smallest signs of progress
- I am a very empathetic person, I am approachable and I always encourage students to come and talk to me outside of the classroom if they have a problem or worry
