I maintained complete and almost accurate records of each student’s academic, spiritual, social, and emotional growth. I planned, documented and carried out daily lessons that aligned to the adopted school curriculum as well as the student-based curriculum. I recognized the needs of individual students and the group at large. I introduced consistent and logical limits, expectations, and classroom routines for students to allow for maximization of learning. I encouraged my pupils to maximize the use of the study time introduced for effective reading. I handled stressful situations with grace, patience, understanding, and flexibility.
