La Habra High School La Habra
CA — Student Teacher January 2016- December 2016 Subjects taught were Aerobics (one class) and Weight Training (two classes). Student teaching gave me the opportunity to work regularly with students from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds who possess many di erent learning styles and abilities. I was able to gain experience being in IEP’s
conducting parent-teacher conferences
and being a part of Student Success Teams which was a program designed to create success plans for at-risk students. At La Habra
I also served as an assistant varsity basketball coach from 2014-2016. Intellectual Virtues Academy Long Beach
CA — Teacher August 2017 - June 2022 Intellectual Virtues Academy is a 6th-8th Grade Public Charter School which is overseen by Long Beach Unified School District. While at IVA
I was able to serve as Department Chair & Athletic Director (2021-2022) as well as being a member of the Wellness Committee and the School Stakeholder Engagement Committee that determined how to use Title funding to help less advantaged students. During the pandemic
I taught Zoom PE lessons and even made house calls to students to workout
go for walks
or even just sit outside and visit with them. Teaching at IVA taught me to take a more holistic approach to teaching PE
to develop students who are not just movers
but thinkers who are not afraid to set goals for themselves
fail
reflect
and adopt a growth mindset when it comes to exercise and sports. Schurr High School Montebello
