August 2020 - June 2021
- Learned to develop a classroom that is focused on the success and

- Focused on growth and fixed mindset. Developing and adding to the SEL work
students had previously received. Discussed and developed attributes to better
develop skills for success, while also developing a safe atmosphere within the
classroom.
- Developed inquiry-based learning. I found that if I gave my students the
foundational knowledge around a topic and then proposed a question, that we
either worked on as a class or individually, the quality of work, the creativity
and retention, and the students' passion for the content increased.
- Inquiry-based learning allows for flexibility and equity opportunities for
students of all educational backgrounds.
- Differentiate how I establish that foundationary content through multiple
outlets, such as the use of primary and secondary source documents, images
from the time period, and the use of maps and videos to provide a wide array
that overlaps to develop depth in the content.

COACHING EXPERIENCE Development of Skills
Through my time as a coach, I have been able to develop many attributes that help
foster my athletes' success. Just like teaching, coaching comes down to relationships
and how you can develop those with your players. I have found that SEL is a huge part
of coaching and developing STUDENT athletes. Through drills and leadership, I am
able to hold, my athletes, to high expectations. Something that I learned early 0n is
that no matter the outcome of the game there is also something you can learn or take
away to get better.
