Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Bowie State University
Hello, I'm a 1st grade teacher who has been teaching for 12 years. Besides the regular school subjects, I also teach chess, coding which includes programming and web design and I also a have a mentoring group for young boys in Middle School. I am a licensed teacher in Childhood Education Grades 1-6 and Special Education Birth to 2nd grade. I also hold administrative licenses for School Building and District Leader. My Bachelor's degree is in Computer Technology with a minor in Computer Graphics. I also have two Masters degrees in Childhood Education grades 1-6 and in Educational Leadership.
I believe that you must educate children the way you would want your child to learn by providing multiple ways for that child to grasp the information. We all learn differently and it is our job as educators to meet the child where they are and then move forward together.
I love playing video games and traveling to different countries!
