I am grateful to experience what it is like to have an extraordinary employer. Not many people can say they had the chance to work for someone who is not only a strong leader, but an exceptional mentor. I had the pleasure of working as a Residential Assistance for Mr. Joseph at Florida Memorial University for a year, and I could not have asked for a better experience. His dedication and passion for the students at Florida Memorial University was refreshing and uplifting. In Residential Life, our main focus was the residence’s housing experience; however, Mr. Joseph sincerely cared about each student’s wellbeing and success.

This position provided me with the opportunity to affect positive change for two student populations with distinct needs: Long Term English Learners and English Learners who received special education services. During my tenure, I led teachers of ELs in analyzing CST and Periodic Assessment data in English Language arts and Mathematics, identifying the appropriate ELD and Access-to-Core/SDAIE strategies to meet students needs, through lesson/strategy study cycles. Through lesson study and coaching conversations with teachers, Monroe’s EL subgroup achieved a 38-point increase on the CST ELA during the 2012-2013 school year, surpassing its AYP targets for math and English Language Arts for this subgroup. While an impressive achievement, the students’ success reflected the underlying mandate to provide rigorous content to all ELs with fidelity to SDAIE and Access to Core strategies by teachers and the professional understanding that we are a team of teachers working together each day to impact student
I have always enjoyed teaching people and helping them learn so that they can succeed in school. I got involved with tutoring through National Honor Society and the A+ Scholarship Program. With National Honor Society there is many service opportunities that I am able to be involved in and I do as many as possible, but tutoring homebound has always been what I've prefered to do. This is very important to me because many of these students aren't in class to learn directly from a teacher so things can become confusing fairly quickly and I like to be there to help as much as I am able to. Even at times when it is something that I am not proficient in it becomes a learning experience for me as well as the student I am tutoring.

After three quarters and over six months, I was able to go to an in depth interview with the teacher of the classroom that I peer tutor. Mr. Kanna the U.S. History teacher for juniors, has been working with me in order to help spread the knowledge further for the entire class. My role in the class is to help out the students in the classroom on any questions they have for U.S. History. Over the months, I have gotten into a routine, in which I help anyone who has a question for the home/classwork or to connect an event/person of the past to today or to be there for moral support in the class. I have personally take great joy in helping out the students in any way possible.

One of the unique aspects of the Department of Child Development and Family Relations is that many of the department’s large core courses offer teaching assistant opportunities to undergraduate students.

In addition, I had the opportunity to strengthen several essential skills such as organizational skills, leadership skills, and communication
Introduction Over the past year, I have learned a lot of valuable lessons in the VIC151 course.
