Background

About Bassem Alzyoud

My experiences as a substitute, tutor, and student teacher have afforded me the opportunity to interact with diverse student populations and engage them in learning. Using teaching methods that coincide with the Universal Design for Learning, including providing high-interest learning material, multiple means of assessment and instruction, as well as the careful modeling and scaffolding of new skills, I strive to ensure that every student achieves excellence. In addition to believing that every student deserves and is capable of achieving success, I am passionate about preparing students for the globalized world that they will undoubtedly face as they grow to be adults. My lessons utilize any and all technology that is available, giving my students an education in common technological uses including professional writing and presentations, internet research, and proper communication. Students are also encouraged to use, and other similar activities as part of their authentic learning experience, which engages them in the subject matter and teaches valuable real world skills. Through my previous experience, I designed and implemented lesson plans for children at different learning level. Utilized a variety of instructional methods including cooperative learning games, discovery, and discussion. Assessed student learning, modified lessons to create meaningful, authentic learning for students, and prepared bulletin boards. Actively participated in school events such as PTO, open house, in-service, English clubs, faculty meetings, team leader meetings, and grade level meetings. Administered standardized tests and assisted cooperating teacher in parent conferences
