This page attempts to give you an idea about the types experiences I have had as an educator. The majority of my
experiences have been as a teachers assistant during field experiences incorporated with my education classes at Marquette
University. In those field experiences, I participated in numerous activities such as tutoring, lesson planning,
and lecturing.
Although the majority of my teaching experiences have been in a school setting, I feel it is important to list my experiences
as a soccer coach. Coaching soccer has taught me a great deal about teaching, such as gaining effective communication
skills, class or team management, and lesson planning.
Below, my experiences as an educator are listed with the activities in which I have participated, and
the amount of time spent at the site.
