Business & Computer Science Teacher
As a business and computer science teacher at Lyman High School, I've had the incredible opportunity to work with high school students to learn practical career skills. I've developed a new high school program and curriculum for the business, computer science, and STEM department. This curriculum includes classes and skills that were previously not offered at the school.
Spanish/Computer Science Teaching Degree
I graduated from Brigham Young University in December of 2018 with a degree in Spanish Teaching with a minor in Computer Science Teaching. To get to this point, I took many courses on pedagogy including:
- Exploration of Teaching Foreign Languages
- Multi Cultural Education
- Educating Students with Disabilities
- Teaching Methods 1
- Teaching Methods in Technology Education
- Teaching Methods 2
- Teaching K-12 in Online/Blended Learning Environments
- Practicum in Teaching Spanish
- Adolecent Development & Classroom Management
- Student Teaching
Student Teacher
I worked as a student teacher for 14 weeks. During this time, I designed new curriculum and assessments for Spanish and computer science classes. I taught and managed classes with over 40 students and developed a new classroom management system. I presented this system to other teachers in PLC (professional learning community) meetings.
Leader and Trainer
During a two year mission in Peru, I led a team of volunteer representatives. I conducted weekly training meetings and motivated team members to meet key indicators and goals. During this time, I learned a lot about what it means to be a leader. I worked really hard to lead by example, and create good rapport with my team members. In the end, I probably learned as much from them as they did from me.
