2010-2011 Residency Completing residency at Grant Beacon Middle School, 6th Grade Math
I earned my BA from Colorado Christian University and my MA University of Denver in Religious Studies. I’ve had many previous jobs, including administrative assistant, adjunct professor, sales girl, and pastry chef. I wasn’t finding much meaning in my job at the time, so started looking around to see what my options might be and ran into DTR online in a non-profit job board posting.
I am really impressed with the DTR’s residency model and the Praxis-oriented coursework. How better to learn a skilled profession than to spend a lot of time interacting with people who do it well? I am most looking forward to getting to know my lead teacher and working alongside her in the classroom. I look forward to learning how to creating an environment that provides for the unique needs of traditionally underserved students.
