I was fortunate to complete my fifth year internship with Michigan State University
at Buchanan Elementary School in Grand Rapids Public Schools during the 2016-
2017 school year. Buchanan is a school in a low-income and high-needs
neighborhood. Here I worked in a kindergarten classroom with a highly experienced
mentor teacher. With her guidance I gained experience in classroom management,
strategies for working with diverse learners, professional experience as a staff
member and contributor to a grade level team, as well as so much more. During my
experience here, I planned and taught lessons that catered to a group of 24 diverse
language learners. These lessons took into account the individual needs of the
students as well as the needs for the classroom. They include the Common Core
State Standards and the schools curriculum to cater to the language, academic and
emotional needs of the students.
I believe that not only do my education and experience qualify me for a position in
your school district, but my motivation to help students in being the best learners
they can be and become lifelong learners about the world around them. My hope is
that you will take these aspects into consideration and grant me with an interview
so I can reveal more of my abilities that deem me capable of being a worthy
member of your school districts team.
