Experience

  • Teacher and administrator (Jan, 2018–Nov, 2023) at Valley School Eldoret
    As a teacher at Valley School responsible for teaching grades 3-5, I employed various strategies and methodologies to effectively educate students in mathematics, science, computer skills, and Swahili. Here's how I structured my teaching approach:
    Differentiated Instruction: Recognizing that students come with diverse learning styles and abilities, I tailored my instruction to meet the needs of individual students. For instance, in mathematics, I used manipulatives, visuals, and real-life examples to help students grasp abstract concepts. In science, hands-on experiments and demonstrations were incorporated to engage students in the learning process.
    Integrated Curriculum: To foster interdisciplinary connections and promote holistic learning, I integrated concepts across subjects. For example, in teaching computer skills, I incorporated mathematical concepts such as algorithms and logic. Similarly, in science, I integrated computer-based simulations and data analysis activities.

    Technology Integration: Recognizing the importance of technology in modern education, I leveraged digital tools and resources to enhance learning experiences. In computer classes, students learned basic coding, digital literacy skills, and explored educational software relevant to their grade level. Technology also facilitated communication and collaboration among students, as well as provided opportunities for personalized learning.

    Parental Involvement: Recognizing the importance of parental support in students' academic success, I maintained open communication with parents through regular updates, newsletters, and parent-teacher conferences. I also encouraged parental involvement in students' learning by providing resources and suggestions for reinforcing learning at home.
    By employing these strategies, I aimed to create a supportive and stimulating learning environment where students felt motivated to explore, learn, and grow academically and personally.
