Accomplishments
- Used Microsoft Excel to develop inventory tracking spreadsheets.
- employed at Oberlin, I am proud to say that I have contributed significantly to the progressive improvement in student’s performance. Case in point, in 2014 CSEC(Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate) examination result, reflected a historic 50% increase in the number of students passing the subject. For this significant increase from 30% to 60% of the cohort passing the subject at the CSEC level, we were all awarded for a job well done.
- In the academic year 2015/2016, I was given a challenging task to prepare a group of students for the cape (Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination) unit two examinations. I have never taught at this level before. However, with no experience I collaborate with teachers from different schools who are more experience in the area. As a result, my pupils past rate was 83% which was the highest compare to previous year. For this reason, I received an excellent feedback from the examination body (Caribbean Examination Council, CXC).
