2010-2011 Residency Teaching at McGlone Elementary, Mild-Moderate Special Education
Maren Joined the Denver Teacher Residency from the non-profit sector where she worked mentoring and counseling teenagers for Young Life International. It was through her experience volunteering in a school in Guatemala that Maren realized she wanted to teach younger children. Maren plans to dedicate her life to teaching students to become lifelong learners and to obtain knowledge and skills that will help them reach their highest potential and contribute to our world.
Two of the most valuable learnings that she credits to her residency year are: learning how to write specific, measurable learning objectives, and sheltering my content and language instruction for my English Learners. Maren began her first year teaching with very few surprises. “Expectations at McGlone are extremely high,” she says. “I feel that DTR has helped me be well prepared to take on the challenges of full time teaching.”
She continues, “I have had the privilege of being trained by some of the very best teachers and trainers in the district. The men and women that have mentored me in specific areas of expertise have been a wealth of knowledge and experience and have continued to support me as I have begun teaching full time.
