Rutherford Elementary School
Class Information:
Students per Class: 22
Class Description:
I have a diverse class of learners, ranging from English language learners and students with learning disabilities to high-achieving students. Most students are economically disadvantaged.
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
Our school has very limited educational technology resources, other than Smartboards and a laptop cart of 30 computers that need to be shared among 600 students. I want to bring more technological resources to my students to help them become career and college ready.
Personal Information:
College and Degrees:
I received my Bachelors of Science from Elizabethtown College. I then earned my ESL certification through Lehigh Carbon Community College. In 2014 I finished my Master's Degree in Instructional Media, which is how to incorporate technology into every day lessons to help students become ready for life after high school.

Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because, for me, it's the most effective and most enjoyable way to change the world. Teaching allows me to work on hearts and minds, to guide people in becoming empowered, literate, engaged, creative, liberated human beings who want to join in this effort to make the world an amazing place!
