Sharon Brach
I have completed a Masters of Science in Education, along with a 100 hour TESOL/ TESL/ TEFL certification. I also hold certification with the Ontario College of Teachers and the New York State Education Department. I am confident that my education, my passion for working with young learners, and my commitment to the success of students with diverse social, cultural, and academic backgrounds will be assets to the students within your school.
I am also quite proficient at using student Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment data to drive instruction. This has helped me to continually challenge my students to reach their optimal academic success.
Throughout all my experiences, I have aimed at fostering strong connections with my students and enjoyed guiding and observing their academic growth. I also believe in the importance of creating/maintaining positive and transparent connections with the parents, so that the student feels supported at school and home. My experiences to date have helped strengthen my planning/organizational skills within the dynamics of having my own classroom. I have always implemented a reward system within my class praising good behavior. Focusing on and encouraging positive behavior while detracting attention from any negative behavior has truly helped with my classroom management skills.
Lastly, over the past few years, I have also had the opportunity to teach at the Hankuk Academy of Foreign Studies for their annual Winter English Camp in South Korea. For the duration of the camp, I taught an English Debate Class using the Asian Parliamentary Debate format. Through my Debate class, I was able to increase my students’ English speaking, reading and writing skills in harmony. During this time, I also ensured that I built strong relationships and collaborated with the other teachers and staff to ensure that we were always able to serve our students to the best of our abilities.
