Emily Barrick's PortfolioHello! I'm Emily Elizabeth, and no I don't have a big, red dog named Clifford, but I did have all the books when I was younger. I was born and raised in North Carolina and it is the place I will always call home.
I went to college in the Appalachia, at a small private school, Brevard College. I spent those years studying history and elementary education, and exploring Pisgah National Forest. I deeply miss the mountains, but I am very glad to be where I am. After graduating with a degree in Elementary Ed. and receiving my teaching license, I realized that teaching in a traditional classroom was not for me. I spent the next few years working as an after school counselor, retreat leader, and outdoor educator at a camp and retreat center. I also worked during this time as a nanny and at a retail store. While I wasn't unhappy at these jobs, I wasn't entirely satisfied with them. I began to look into alternative forms of teaching and learned about the Montessori Method. I spent the summer of 2014 studying at the Center for Montessori Teacher Education in North Carolina, and the following 2014-2015 school interning at Willow Oak Montessori Charter School as part of my Lower Elementary Certification. I was hired on as an Upper Elementary teacher at the end of the school, and am now working on my Upper Elementary Certification. |
