Job Title: Special Education Paraprofessional/Music Enrichment Teacher
Job Description: As a special education paraprofessional I had several tier 1 and 2 sped students that I would be with for most of the day. I pushed into science and social studies classes and assisted them by giving them extra one on one help, allowing for quick mental breaks and making sure that they stay on task with their work; during the sped ELA and math I did the same. I occasionally had to teach a mini lesson to these students from time to time. I always needed to be ready to teach any subject at a moments notice. I did reading intervention with SPED and GenEd scholars, where we went through LLI reading books and vocabulary, as well as phonics.
As a Music Enrichment teacher I created a curriculum that I believed best suited the students I taught (5th-6thgrade). I was than promoted to do 3rd-8th grade Music; I had lessons that focused on basic music theory such as reading music, the differences between a rhythm and beat as well as teaching the students how to play different songs on the keyboard as well as the guitar.

Job Title: Lead Teacher (Summer Program)/ Camp Counselor
Job Description: As a lead teacher I had two curriculums that I had planned out for children ages 4-12 that involved different crafts and readings. We had several crafts that were centered on giving back to the community such as positive chalk art, place mats for the elderly, as well as emoji expressing pictures to convey and understand different emotions. For the reading we had several short chapter books that had movies made for them so the children would read these books, usually in a “popcorn read” out loud and than we would watch that chapter of the book on the television and compare and contrast the differences in the book and in the movie.
