Describe the benefits of working with others The best thing about working with others is getting new perspectives on a subject. Someone else may look at the topic in a completely different way. It is also more fun because you can joke around and talk. Describe the benefits of working alone When I work alone I seem to get more done. But it really depends on what you are doing. If it is just simple data entry or grading papers, it is better to work alone. If you are trying to figure out how to handle tough students, it is better to work with others because all the different ideas come together and create solutions. What was your worst working experience? I think it must be my first year of teaching when the principal had cancer and was on a lot of medication. I really put a lot of effort into the position of teaching a combined class of 7th and 8th graders. In language arts, we read To Kill a Mockingbird and put on a play. We did all kinds of creative and fun projects. But she said I wasn't doing well enough to continue on as a teacher. I fought it and won. What is the most important lesson you have learnt throughout your career? Treat others as you would like to be treated and be open to new ideas. What unique skills do you have? I have a lot of art and craft skills because I was an art major and I teach an after school program which includes arts and crafts. I also paddle in a canoe club and race in the yearly regattas. I worked in advertising for several years. What would you consider as your 'dream job'? Teaching students who want to learn and appreciate your experience and working with fun positive people. What are the most interesting aspects of your field? Our school consists of many different cultures. It is interesting to see how each of the cultures have different values. And it is interesting to see how they interact with each other. I like learning about where they came from. What are the least interesting aspects of your field? The meetings! It seems like the meetings don't accomplish much and I always keep thinking of all I could be accomplishing if I wasn't sitting there . Are you adventuresome? Yes. I love change, and new experiences. In my classroom I change my lessons each year. I am always trying to improve my life and learn new things!
