Amy ShetlerPersonal Profile

• I love to be out doors with my three
  children and husband enjoying Gods beauty. I
  believe my most
• important job is to make sure my children will be
• happy productive citizens that contribute to
  making the world a better place. This is why I
  have been out of teaching for 15 years. I stayed
  at home to raise my 3 children. I am looking
  forward to getting back into teaching and
  starting a new chapter in my life.

Websites I Like

• www.4teachers.com.org/ It has ready to use web
  lessons, quizzes, and rubrics. This website also
  helps you integrate technology into your
  classroom.
• http//www.hoagiesgifted.org I like it because
  it
• focuses on gifted students. I like that it
  provides information and resources for students,
  parents, and teachers.
• http//historyexplorer.americanhistory.si.edu/ I
  like this because it has a link for teachers and
  students. It is a great way to explore history.
• This was my first year teaching TD so I have not
  had the chance to use a lot of these websites. I
  am looking forward to using these websites to
  make planning and differentiating easier.

Differentiation

• Evaluation Tests Evaluating where a student is
  before they begin the learning process. This
  prevents students from having to learn something
  they already mastered.
• Choice Products Allowing students to choose how
  they want to exhibit their mastery of material.
  This can be used in any of the subject areas that
  you are teaching.
• Problem Based Learning Students work on coming
  up with solutions to a problem from the different
  perspectives of the people involved.

My Experiences With AIG Students

• I have always worked with 4th - 12th grade
  students as a classroom teacher. When I accepted
  the TD position I learned that I would be working
  with K- 5th grades. I thought I would have a
  hard time working with the younger students, but
  I quickly fell in love with them. They have
  boundless energy and are always excited to see
  me. They love to learn and be challenged. This
  is when I realized that it is my job to make sure
  they never loose their hunger for learning. I am
  looking forward to the challenge this year.

Israel

• I want to breath in the history that Israel
  holds. The stories that I have read about in the
  Bible will come to life as I walk through the
  historic cities of this country. Exploring and
  learning from history is a passion of mine.
