About Jennifer
I am a dedicated and compassionate educator with extensive experience in elementary and special education. I have worked in education for many years and hold a K–6 teaching certification. My experience includes teaching fourth-grade ELA as well as special education students in grades 3–5. I have also gained valuable experience through tutoring and working with students with a variety of academic and behavioral needs.
I earned my Bachelor of Education degree from Athens State University and my Master’s degree in Special Education Collaborative K–6 from the University of West Alabama. I am currently continuing my education by working toward an Ed.S. in Special Education. I have also successfully passed the Special Education Praxis K–6 examination.
I believe every student has the ability to learn and succeed when provided with the right support, encouragement, and opportunities. I strive to create a positive, respectful, and inclusive classroom where students feel valued and confident. My goal as an educator is to help students become more independent, develop strong academic and life skills, and reach their fullest potential.
I am hardworking, dependable, and committed to building positive relationships with students, families, and colleagues. I am passionate about education and look forward to continuing to grow professionally while making a positive difference in the lives of my students.

Elementary Reading Lesson
Subject: Reading
Grade: 4th Grade
Lesson Topic: Main Idea and Supporting Details
Time: 30–45 minutes
Objective:
Students will identify the main idea of a reading passage and identify supporting details that explain or support the main idea.
Materials:
Reading passage
Pencil
Paper or worksheet
Introduction:
Begin by explaining that the main idea tells what a passage is mostly about. Supporting details give us more information about the main idea. Read a short passage aloud to the students and discuss what the passage is mostly about.
Teacher Modeling:
Read the passage with the students. Think aloud while identifying the main idea. Point out details from the passage that support the main idea.
Guided Practice:
Read another short passage together. Ask students what they think the main idea is. Have students identify two or three details from the passage that support the main idea.
Independent Practice:
Students will read a short passage independently. They will write the main idea and list two supporting details from the passage.
Assessment:
The teacher will review students' answers to determine whether they can correctly identify the main idea and supporting details.
Differentiation:
Students who need additional support may read the passage with the teacher or a partner. The teacher may highlight important details or provide sentence starters. Advanced students may identify the main idea and supporting details from a longer passage independently.
Closing:
Review the lesson by asking students to explain what the main idea is and how supporting details help us understand a passage.
