SAMPLE WORK
Project | 01 - Unit
During my junior year of college, I was in a class where we were asked to create a two week lesson plan that could be used in our future classroom.
I chose to do my unit for Kindergarteners, and the theme was a mix between giraffes and puzzles. The underlying theme was that even though we are all different, when we are together we make something amazing - like the spots on a giraffe or the pieces of a puzzle.
Included are my two week lesson plans, and pictures from my completed unit.

Project | 02 - Evidence of Diverse Experiences
During my Internship II semester, we were asked to compile a presentation of the different groups of children we had taught throughout our education and how we learned from the different experiences. Feel free to check out my Powerpoint on my experiences!
Project | 03
Project | 03 - Door and Bulletin Board Designs
While in school, I worked in the Education Resource Center which provided cheap resources for students and nearby teachers to work on projects. Some of these displays are projects that I was asked to do for teachers in our area, some for the education department, and some to brighten up my dorm rooms.
Since college, I have focused on making my church building a brighter place with bulletin boards.

While I student taught, I was asked to conduct an experiment where I taught a lesson and then assessed the highest student, a mid-range student, and my lowest student. I taught a lesson on Compound Words using M&Ms, and then we did the first two questions together. I let them do the rest of it by themselves as I walked around and observed, and then created a powerpoint with my findings.
During a semester in graduate school, I was in a class we called Reading Camp where I was given a third grade student that was struggling in reading, and devised a plan to help her. I started by getting to know her, and over the next couple weeks administered all of the assessments I know of to find out what she struggled with specifically. From this work, I created the Assessment Analysis that included my findings for each test, and from that what specifically to work on with her.
After I had assessed her and found the deficits I wanted to focus on, I started creating lesson plans that included activities that targeted her deficits. We worked on improving skills for the rest of the semester, and I saw a huge improvement in my student. I then created an Intervention Plan of what we had done all semester as a resource for anyone who might work with her in the future.
During the summer of my Junior year, I tutored a girl that attended my church in Ohio. Her and her twin brother were heading into Kindergarten in the Fall, and she was still struggling with letters and simple math. Throughout the summer, I helped her become more confident, learn her letters and the sounds they make, and tips for enjoying Kindergarten. She made amazing improvements, and was very successful that year!
In graduate school, I spent copious amounts of time learning about assessments and when to give an assessment to a child. At the end of one course, we were asked to create a matrix that we could some day put up in our classroom or our Reading Specialist office.
I have included this to show the various assessments that I know how to give, and how it will help my future students.
