Resume

This is my resume.

A Little Bit About Myself

Hello, and allow me to briefly introduce myself. My name is Jennifer Morgante and I am currently a Junior at Rider University. For as long as I can remember I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. I’ve always worked with children whether it was babysitting, working in my church as a CCD teachers assistant, or my part time job now at The Harmony School as a teachers assistant. My passion is for teaching and I can’t wait until I have a classroom of my own.

My mom and dad are very hardworking people and have instilled that great work ethic in me. My older brother is my role model because he has showed me that you can do anything you put your mind to. He is currently completing a program at UMASS where he will obtain his doctorate in the Fall. My sister has taught me patience and kindness. She has a learning disability and is a part of the Special Olympics where she competes in swimming. My younger brother is a dispatcher at the Sheriffs Department in Trenton, NJ and he has taught me to take the good with the bad and to not dwell on the small stuff.

My family has helped shaped me into the person I am today, teaching me many qualities to help me in the future.

NCLB

For another class I have this semester we had to pick a topic for our moral reasoning papers. I chose to do mine on the No Child Left Behind Act. This paper shows my understanding on the Act and will benefit me when I become a teacher.

Some Papers from my Educational Psychology Class

This past semester I was fortuante to have my field experience at Ben Franklin Elementary School ,where I got to observe a kindergarten class. We were asked to write a letter to the teacher we were observing to introduce ourselves and tell them why we wanted to be teachers.

Later in the semester we had to write a field reflections paper in which we had to discuss Educational Psychology concepts and connect them with things we saw in the classroom.

We also had to write a paper showing our understaning on childrens perspective taking ability.

Another paper that is significant is the paper we wrote after reading an article called The Unmotivated Student. This required us to think of why the student acts out the way they do and to come up with different ways and techniques to keep the student interested in learning.
