Teacher, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Rockville, MD 2004 to 2005 I taught Earth and Space Science, which encompassed students from every grade level in the high school. This class was composed mostly of “at risk” students, who needed a science credit to graduate. My class was considered a “dumping ground” for failing students. My goal was to educate and mentor these students, and give them the ability to believe in their own unique abilities. My students understood that I cared for them and have exceeded the expectations of everyone in the building except for myself. I also taught a course called Connections, which was a middle school-to high school transition class, which helped these new students handle the stresses and pressures of their new environment. I also helped out the school by covering Environmental Science when another teacher had to take sick leave for a month, giving up my prep time in order to benefit the students. I also co-taught Biology with a special educator, learning much about emotional disorders, while collaborating with another teacher simultaneously in the classroom. I also tutored for Montgomery County, helping 2-5th grade students with Math and English.
