Leadership Positions

Based on my college credits and experience at The Cuddle Zone Learning

Center, I advanced from assistant teacher to co-lead preschool teacher in a Pre-K
Counts classroom in June 2010. As co-leads, my co-worker and I maintained a positive
learning environment for the students. We achieved a positive learning environment
through reinforcement, age appropriate classroom management techniques and
engaging learning experiences.

Lead Preschool Teacher December 2011 – August 2018

The Cuddle Zone Learning Center promoted my role as co-lead to lead

preschool teacher upon receiving my Level I certification in early childhood education In
December 2011. The lead teacher position aided my growth in the field of education. As
a lead teacher, I ensure the learning environment and classroom teachers comply with
regulations defined under the PreK Counts program and Early Childhood Environmental
Rating Scale (ECERS-3). Every week to two weeks, the classroom environment receives a
rotation of learning centers to focus on the students’ developmental needs, interests and
learning goals. When rotating learning materials, I complete a classroom environment
sheet to verify the correct amount of materials for each area. Aside from the classroom
environment, I maintain relationships with other teachers through meaningful
conversations and demonstrating respect to all opinions. Together we reflect, and plan
based on students’ needs acquired through observation. To maintain positive parent-
teacher relationships, I communicate with families best suiting their needs and provide
regular meetings. Weekly completion of important documents relating to our classroom
and students’ development aid the lesson planning process.

My new role as a prekindergarten teacher provided the opportunity to ensure the

classroom environment envisioned expectations of the PreK Counts program and
Keystone Stars; while promoting kindergarten readiness. The main goal focused on
creating a setting in which students learn through interests and personal ideas. My
responsibilities and expectations as a lead teacher remain the same in which I ensure the
classroom environment follows regulations stated by the Early Childhood Environmental
Rating Scale (ECERS-3). I continue to develop and implement instructional experiences in
which student use higher-level thinking skills to explore new and familiar concepts. I
reflect with my assistant teacher on students learning and development to maintain
focus on the needs of the students. We strive to provide our students with learning
experiences vital to their future in primary grade levels and personal preferences.
