Objective Statement

I am a compassionate, loving, and motivated individual who loves to be creative. I have had
experience working in the area of Early Childhood and Elementary Education for many years. I
am very passionate about this area of education. At this age childrens ideas, critical thinking
skills and socializations skills are being molded. It takes a special teacher to take on a task such
as this. From this experience, I have grown to become an effective leader and I am able to
collaborate as a team with the other staff. I respond to compromising situations in an organized
and self-maintained manner. I put the needs of others before my own, and I am capable of giving
directions and following directions correctly with efficiency. I have made and sustained
personable relationships with the children, families and the staff, volunteer and practicum and
student teaching experiences that I have previously worked with. A teaching position at your
school would be a wonderful opportunity. It would be an honor to continue my experience here
and make a difference in the lives of every individual.
