All About Me
My name is Terri Eisenbarth. I have been a regular education teacher for 13 years. I worked for Washoe County School District in Reno, Nevada for 9 years. One year in a 1st/2nd grade combination and 8 years in 3rd grade. I am currently working for Elko County School District at Flag View Intermediate School as a 5th grade Special Education teacher. It has been my inspiration to teach children and my goal is to help children reach their potential. I believe there is nothing more rewarding to me than to watch children grow and learn. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your child this year.
Educational Philosophy
I believe all students have potential and are capable of being successful. As an educator, it is important to find each child's potential and provide learning opportunities to maximize each student's ability. As a teacher at Flag View, I will enhance children's strength, while working on their weaknesses.
My classroom will be a place where children are motivated and have a sense of belonging. I will provide an atmosphere where the children feel comfortable and are willing to take risks in order to learn. I will create a open child centered environment, stressing cooperative learning, hands on and discovery explorations. Computer technology will be an important part of learning in my class.
I will manage my classroom primarily through positive reinforcement. I believe that instructional skills, teacher preparation, organization and classroom mangement directly impacts student learning. If students do experience problems, they will be handled promptly and professionally.
Communication with parents will be a priority. I will keep parents updated about what is going on in our class. Parents are welcome in our classroom anytime. I value diversity in my classroom and feel that it plays an important role. As an educator, it is important to respect other cultures, traditions, and values.
I have a passion for learning and I am continually updating my professional knowledge and plan to futher my education by being a life long learner.
