CERTIFICATED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER

I attended the teaching credential program at the School of Education at Alliant International University. I

completed my student teaching at Vista Academy of Visual and Performing Arts in Vista, CA at the end

of May 2012 and received my California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I also completed my

Master of Arts Degree in Education: Teaching in August 2012.

For the 2014-2015 school year, I was hired to teach fifth grade at an independent study charter school in

San Diego called Endeavour Academy. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, my position was eliminated. I

am now searching for a new opportunity in the field of education

I am looking for a certificated teaching position for the 2014-2015 school year. I have a sincere desire to

help students and feel I have been trained in the current best practices in education. I am collaborative,

communicative, and motivated and I feel I would be an asset to any school.
