Bio
Hello! My name is Amelia, and I have been passionately serving students since 2015. As an educator, my focus has been dedicated to English Language Arts and Social-Emotional support. While academic growth and goals are important to maintain and create, the catalysts for success are trusting and caring relationships that are built between teachers and students. When any child is met with a kind and consistent approach, every student is capable of achieving personal and academic victories. With this foundation, students achieve the courage and confidence to overcome challenges and take more intellectual risks. My educational approach provides children with love in every lesson to promote exploration of self and find the fun in being a lifelong learner. Whether we are improving reading skills, drafting essays, strengthening vocabulary, deepening comprehension and connection to literature, or creating resumés, our time will be spent seeing and feeling out the progress, together!
Teacher Specialization
My educational background includes a Bachelor's Degree in English Language Arts grades 7-12, a Master's Degree in Special Education (K-12), and training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My educational experience extends beyond the classroom, as I served students and families in various capacities. As an Internship Coordinator, I assisted students ages 15-21 in developing a sense of professionalism and acquiring soft skills for internship opportunities. As an Assistant Principal for four years, my acquired skills in leadership allow me to understand the pressures that can come at every age and stage, and can aid students in navigating and wielding their own personal power. Through the development of life skills, consistent routines, and innovative strategies, neurodivergent individuals can thrive and achieve great success!
