Work History
- As part of my journey toward becoming an art educator, I participated in an in-person classroom internship three separate times, where I had the opportunity to observe and engage with a live teaching environment. This experience allowed me to examine the physical setup of the classroom, understand student behavior, and see firsthand how teachers manage instruction, transitions, and engagement. I paid close attention to how the teacher differentiated instruction, used visual aids, incorporated classroom routines, and built positive relationships with students. Observing the flow of the day from start to finish gave me deeper insight into what effective teaching looks like and helped me reflect on how I will structure and manage my own future classroom.
