About Me

I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado and earned a B.A. Special Education Teacher k-12. I also earned an M.A. for teaching grades k-12. I worked a full time teaching position for the Hartford public Schools. The students in my class were deemed "un-teachable" With the exception of one child all of my kids graduated in the mainstream! I am a very strong reading and math teacher at the elementary and middle school level. I use a multi-kinesthetic approach which enhances memory; while additionally we are having a lot of fun learning. I know my core curriculum and special needs is definitely a strength for me. I teach with a passion, and the kids always love me. I am also dependable, honest, and punctual. I have been able to reach several children, where others have failed.

Hobbies & Interests

Q&A with Amy

"You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar." I like to present materials in an upbeat positive manner. I use a positive reinforcement programs, which vary, depending on the child. A professional attitude is essential. You have to be kind and compassionate while using a strong behavioral management technique. Teach with a passion that flows to your students. I also like to make myself available to my parents.
