Ask me why diversity matters... In Biomimicking, Adult learning and collaborative endeavors

Methodology

I have experience providing and assisting current and prospective Educators with access to Computer skills
& knowledge. Also, I have trained pre-school, elementary and high school Educators in academic & social
activities, for in & outside of the classroom. In addition to that, I have lead meetings and collaborated to
complete documentations according to updated Federal and State statues. I believe that my education
from Cleveland State, my past experience working in social services, a Substitute of a large urban distinct
and as an Instructor with a large mental health organization that specialized in treatment of learningdisabled
students makes me an excellent candidate for this position. Within these positions, I have gained
experience overseeing and managing youth-serving programs with demonstrated success in developing,
carrying out and evaluating student-lead agendas. One example of an accomplishment in which I
developed and carried out, was a student- lead recycling initiative. I also have knowledge from my years
within an Urban District working with diverse students, parent population and their organizations. During
that time, I developed and built parent-lead cooperative activities. Over the years as an Educator, I have
worked effectively and gained many skills from being in a dynamic and changing work environment that
required flexibility, teamwork, problem identification, and problem solving and conflict resolution expertise.
I am confident in my abilities with multiple aspects of computers in communicating. I believe all students
can learn if offered a variety of options. My Master's Thesis is a working social curriculum with over 1000+
ideas and lesson integration alternatives.
I Also am a Instruction Specialist who is responsible for teaching basic skills to students with varying academic levels while integrating GED skills,reading and math skills, social justice and community issues, and culture. Helps students meet necessary
goals and qualify to get a GED. I prepare students to take GED exam.
My primary responsibilities include (but not limited to):
Instruct students on material needed in order to earn their GED.
Teach basic skills encompassing math, science, English, and literature.
Help students prepare and study for GED exam.
Assess students' readiness to take exam.
