Teacher at Fresno High School
Fresno, California Area
Currently a teacher and previously department chair in an inner city school where I have collaborated on two smaller learning communities within the business department. Using the tools and skills they were taught in my classes, my students have found success in the real world.
Although an inner city school can be challenging, highly qualified teachers are necessary to raise test scores and to achieve improved student attendance rates. My students have higher pass rates for standardized tests as well as achieving better than average graduation rates. Through innovative teaching methods I have been able to provide a unique learning environment for the students in which they use technology for project-based assignments.
