What I do
I work in the ACE Resource Room with students who need support in reading English. Together, we work on decoding and comprehension, as well as spelling and writing. My focus is to help students increase their self esteem by giving them a chance to feel successful.
How I make a difference at YTCTE
By planning good lessons that reach each child, I can make a difference in their lives now and in the future.
My favorite part about what I do
I believe that reading is one of the most important skills for children to acquire, and I love seeing a student’s ability to read improve.
Parting Words
YTCTE’s reputation precedes it, but seeing first hand how they truly put each child first is very special.
