For the past 6 years I have been a 5th grade teacher at Greene County Intermediate School. I have taught all subjects including Social Studies, ELA, Math and Science. I have recently accepted a position as assistant principal at West Greene Elementary in Greene County and will be starting July 1st.
I wanted to become a Kenan Fellow because I thought it was a great opportunity for me to enhance the effectiveness of my teaching and being a leader. During my internship, I would like to gain more leadership qualities that I will learn from my mentor, use the information I learn through my internship to relate the curriculum more effectively to my students and make connections with local community members that I can use to enhance community involvement in the schools of Greene County. In doing all of this it should help increase student achievement, increase the communities involvement in the school and help me become a more effective leader.
