Hello

My name is April MacEachern and I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Education programme at St. Thomas University with a graduation date of July 13th, 2011. During this program I have completed fifteen weeks of teaching experience through two internships. My last internship took place at Oromocto High school where I was able to teach both in the field of Mathematics and English. My first internship also gave me the opportunity to teach a variety of subjects as I taught Mathematics, Science and Social Studies at the grade six level. Working with diverse student populations, I was able to develop my teaching capabilities across different disciplines and age groups.

While attending university, I have developed a well-rounded educational background by taking a variety of courses in all subject areas. Taking courses in Mathematics, English, Psychology, Science and Sociology has provided me with the knowledge and experience that I can confidently carry into any subject matter. My desire to teach across curriculums is strengthened by the individual needs that each student brings to the classroom. I worked with students with different exceptionalities and backgrounds and I was able to extend my understanding of the need to differentiate within the classroom. Incorporating different learning styles as well as a strong use of technology facilitated a more diverse classroom to help all of my students to achieve success.

I strongly believe that I have a unique and valuable set of skills and aptitudes to offer the school environment. Being raised in rural Prince Edward Island, I was able to work with a variety of people from the elderly, to young children to young adults. I only hope that I can continue to develop my interest in helping others through my future career in the Education field.

Thank you for your time.
