Hi, my name is Felicia Burch. I am a mother of three and wife to a very cool guy, Bill. I started my journey in becoming a teacher about 12 years ago. I would be teaching now but life has a funny way of throwing you off course. With that said I'm here and ready to teach when I am done with school.
It has always been my dream to have my own classroom. Decorating walls with students work and creating reading corners with a plethora of books. Teaching students how to have fun while learning.
I believe that all students can learn when they are given the opportunity. I strongly believe that differentiated instruction can give all students that extra push in succeeding. One way of using DI is with English Language Learners. Utilizing Chrome Books or tablets to allow them to read a book in their primary language, then at their own pace translating it into the English language. I feel this will help them keep up with the class reading assignments and protect their self-esteem. Once I am in a classroom, I will be able to explore other forms of DI.
I have not had the opportunity to teach as of yet. I am working my way through school as they would say, making sure my family is taken care of while I am going to school. I have been in the coffee industry for almost 22 years as a Customer Service Representative / New Accounts / Purchasing Agent.
For the last twenty years I have been a bowling league coordinator. Coordinating an adult bowling league on Saturday nights. We have a tournament every six months in Las Vegas. Having fun and bowling with family and friends, who have become family, is one of most fun activities I have the opportunity to be a part of. I enjoy seeing new members join the league. As you can tell I am a people person.
