Hi - I'm a 30 year veteran of elementary education. I started as a
kindergarten teacher at Keiller Elementary in San Diego. I planned on
teaching kindergarten for my entire career but things and interests change.
After a break in full time service (doing subbing and basic skills
tutoring) a position came up in 3rd grade, teaching math. I applied for
the position and got it. First day of school, I came out of the classroom
saying "Why didn't I do this years ago?" I stayed in 3rd grade at Encanto
for 6 years and then transferred to 5th grade teaching only math and
science. As I went up in grade level, I realized I really was an upper
grade teacher. After my one year at 5th grade, I was asked to take the
math lab at Encanto. I spent only one year in that position before taking
the Project Resource position at Encanto. As a Project Resource teacher, I
work with all teachers and all grade levels specifically doing hands-on
math lessons as well as project resource responsibilities.
