Student Teacher, Kindergarten

Evergreen Park Elementary School
08.2023 - 05.2024

I completed a year-long student teaching practicum in a kindergarten classroom while earning my master’s degree. I worked closely with my cooperating teacher and fully substituted for her over a 13-day period. Over time, I gradually assumed full-day teaching responsibilities, led small-group reading instruction, and implemented lesson plans aligned with my graduate program requirements. I also participated in team meetings with administrators, reading specialists, and other team members, where I contributed input on student needs and instructional planning.

Student Teacher, Third Grade

Susan Lindgren Elementary School
09.2022 - 12.2022

Twice a week, I worked one-on-one with two third-grade students—one with emerging reading skills and one performing above grade level. I administered reading fluency assessments, including timed tests, to track their progress and provided targeted support based on their individual needs.

Student Teacher, Second Grade

Brooklyn Center Elementary School
01.2022 - 04.2022

I had the opportunity to work in a second-grade special education cluster classroom, where I reviewed IEPs and 504 plans and supported students with diverse learning needs. I provided assistance tailored to individual accommodations, helping ensure that each student received the support necessary to succeed academically and socially.
