Background Information:

In my varied teaching positions over the past ten years, I have been fortunate to work in
environments that encouraged cooperative planning and delivery of learning experiences. In
committee work, I have planned meetings and delivered professional development to my colleagues.
I have had the opportunity to mentor new teachers within my building and maintain contact with
colleagues at other schools, discussing curriculum and lesson planning.
