Educator at Rock Solid High School
Greater Denver Area
In the 2008-2009 school year, I expanded my instructional experience by teaching two new subjects: Spanish and Music/Drama Appreciation. Under my direction and the help of tireless individuals, the senior play was a great success with a school record for attendance.
In the 2007-2008 school year, I completed both my 120-hour English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and 300-hour Reading Endorsements. Through serving on the school's reading intervention team, I contributed to the school wide reading initiative, working with other teachers to help them develop cross-curricular reading activities.
