(The design has helped me to follow up with low achievers’ weaknesses and track the objectives that they were not able to accomplish) • Integrating Math and Science concepts and Technology within the curriculum itself. • Raise health and environmental issues and develop awareness towards these topics through integrating them in the math curriculum (Gr1-6), activities and lesson plans • Conducting internal workshops for teachers for updating teaching strategies and practices . • Creating activities that targets group work, critical thinking and the creativity of students. • Creating activity sheets using Geogebra software to be used by students to enrich their knowledge of the mathematical concepts given. • Setting activities related to real world problems(3Rs , Pollution, Healthy Food, creating plans for public gardens) • Conducting field trips related to the concepts and skills learned in classroom (real Life application) • Mentoring math projects done by all levels from grade1-8 • Supervising and training students for mental math competitions (in school from grade1-7) • One-on-one reteach for students fall behind in objectives. • Setting thinking and procedural strategies for new skills that students fall behind

Skills:

Goal:My vision as a teacher and leader is to strive to organize adults into a learning community who guides continuous instructional improvement thus supplying adequate resources to support learning opportunities. And the mission that I long to fulfill is to educate and develop well-rounded citizens who are passionate to learn, mentally alert, confident, and self disciplined and who are also able to cherish social and aesthetic values with readiness to mobilize a positive change towards a better future. This would hopefully be done when we as teachers understand and appreciate all students, provide a supportive learning environment and hold high expectations for their academic achievements. When the aim of each unit is set serving the vision and the curriculum is planned along with the teaching strategies that are designed in alignment with different learning needs, it is only then that the vision would be always visible and implemented by both the educator and the learner .
