I view children as capable, curious, and active participants in their own learning, and I believe in designing environments and experiences that honor their voices and ideas. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, my teaching practice emphasizes inquiry, collaboration, and the integration of real-world connections to foster deep, meaningful learning. I see documentation not just as assessment, but as a tool for reflection, communication, and advocacy—for children, families, and the teaching community.       Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, None    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   4 years experience, 2 references Key Element Learning / Lead Teacher MAY 2024 - PRESENT, Jersey City • Create and maintain both individual and class portfolios, capturing higher-level thinking, dialogue, and project-based learning. • Partner with specialists (music, movement, language) to integrate multidisciplinary experiences into weekly lesson plans. • Daily communication with parents virtually and physically. • Observation of children's growth, individually and collectively. • Documentation of children's development through progress report • Developing and executing age appropriate cognitive, literacy, math science and art activities. • Maintaining a learning environment that is supportive of children's growth and teacher collaboration. • Providing developmentally appropriate early learning experiences indoors • Delegation of tasks to assistant teachers. • Leading co-teachers and assistants through ongoing training, supervision and reflective collaboration to ensure alignment with school philosophy and best practices. • Mentoring and training new teachers; guidance on classroom management, curriculum development and student engagement. • Implementing effective classroom management strategies. • Collaboration with parents to address individual student needs.
