All+About+Me



 Hello, my name is Gayle Brodie and this is an introduction about **who** I am, **what** I believe, **when** I decided to become a classroom teacher and **why** I will be an effective teacher.

 since I was 13 years old. I moved here with my Dad, Mom, and sister. My Dad was an officer in the United States Air Force. He and my Mom loved Colorado so much, he decided to retire when the Air Force wanted him to move to the Pentagon. I attended The University of Colorado at Boulder and am currently studying at Metropolitan State College of Denver. My husband Jeff and I have been married since 1993. He is a proud member of the United States Navy Reserves and recently served a 10 month deployment to Kuwait. We are the proud parents to Ryan who is 13 and in the 7th grade, and Rebecca who is 11 and in the 5th grade. I am the Physical Education teacher at Jefferson Academy Elementary School in Broomfield, Colorado. believe that some children require a change in teaching technique in order for them to fully comprehend what is being taught.
 * **Who** am I?
 *  I am a very outgoing, family oriented person. (and I LOVE elephants!) My family and I have live the Westminster, Colorado area since 1999. Prior to that, we lived in Aurora, Colorado. I have lived in Colorado
 * **What** do I believe?
 * I believe that every child has the potential to learn if given the right mix ofteaching techniques. I also

 to work at the same school my children attend (Jefferson Academy) my desire to teach was re-kindled. I have been teaching physical education, first as an assistant, and now as the teacher, for the past 5 years. I do love teaching physical education and getting to know a little bit about each of my 300 students. However, I am anxious to know a smaller group of students better and be a bigger part of their lives.
 * **When** I decided to become a classroom teacher?
 * I wanted to be a teacher at a very young age, but I lost focus for a while. When I was given the opportunity

 from their energy. I have a great mix of humor, love, kindness, patience, and life experience that will enable me to be an effective classroom teacher. I have also learned a lot about the latest 21st century technology that will give me the ability to teach with some "pizazz"! With the advancement of technology, teachers have the ability to introduce curriculum that is so much more engaging and interesting to learn then it was when I was growing up.
 * **Why** will I be an effective teacher?
 *  I already am an effective physical education teacher. I love working with kids and derive a lot of energy
