Hi, hi, hi, hi,
The purpose of this e-resume is to showcase the hard work, dedication, values, and heart I exhibit in everything I do.  This resume showcases glips of my work during my time teaching the last three years, working on my Mulitple-Subject teaching credential, and Master's Program while attending National University.

I believe that teaching is a passionate job and as a teacher, we must support students to look deeper into their work and themselves to find reason or purpose. Therefore, I also included some insight into my life to exhibit important lessons I've learned or values I feel are important to me as an educator to be completely transparent about who I am as an educator and person.

Passion - my fuel:
I value self-discovery at any age, but I find that childhood is an extremely important time in a child's life to build their mental "toolbox" to help them navigate through life. This is why I love working with children and seeing them grow in all aspects of education (academically, socially, emotionally, and mentally).
I value individuality, justice, diversity, integrity, inclusion, and equity. As an educator, I get to teach these values when problems arise in the classroom which is why it's exhausting at times because working with younger children these values aren't developed, or even known about yet, or are not valued in their family system. As an educator, I feel it is my responsibility to impact as many kids as possible and be a light in their life. Growing up I did not have a supportive or healthy childhood experience. My home environment was unsafe and unreliable, it wasn't until I went to school that I felt safe, and had a sense of belonging, and a love for learning. I have always loved school for so many reasons, but if it wasn't for my wonderful teachers along the way I wouldn't be where I am today. They have inspired me to be the amazing and passionate educator that I am today. This is why I believe in the importance of individuality and how self-exploration and reflection create growth in each individual. I believe that thinking about your thoughts at an early age will help create a better future because that is how I was able to survive my childhood. Hope you can see my growth through the last couple of years by being in the educator field.

Goodbye,  bye, bye,
Thanks for checking out my page. I hope that you have been inspired by seeing how motivated, dedicated, professional, and ethical an educator I am.

MUCH LOVE,

Jessica Crayne

2019 - 2020 school year : First year teaching

# data[].attributes.body
My first year teaching during a pandemic has pushed me to grow oh so much! I am very proud of my growth as a professional educator, this was one of the hardest years in my life... I was a new mom, new wife, and new teacher during a pandemic. I faced many challenges not just at work but at home as well. At work, I was establishing my own classroom management, techniques, and understanding and implementing California State Standards. Facing this pandemic with my students who looked up to me for safety and encouragement I realized that this year was going to be a rough year for everyone in many ways, so I used joy in lessons to create an environment for students to feel loved, valued, safe, and joyful. During this year I also learned how to incorporate many online platforms while teaching on Zoom and in person to build student academic growth.

Change Your Mindset - above the "Chill Zone"

# data[].attributes.body
I leave this on the wall in my classroom all year long as a reminder to continue to work and grow. This is above our classroom "Chill Zone" where students go to take a break and use learning strategies to help them understand, regulate, and think about their emotions, thoughts, and actions. This is taught to students during the first 2 weeks of school.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is an all-day effort working in education. For the last three years, the school I work at used the Second Step program for SEL academics. I found it effective for my students to develop skills to become successful little people in society. Here is one poster about one topic that is so important life skill used every day: Problem-solving.

I love using this Bitmoji Classroom to not only engage students but also help my lesson plan and stay organized throughout the day and week. Every week I create a new classroom based on the theme & standards we are covering and fill in the icons with links to online resources that are going to be shown for the week. It is a fun way to prep and teach :)

Here is a brochure I made for parents to communicate about PBL. I did this during my second year as an educator in 2nd grade. The kids had a blast working in teams to problem solve, share ideas and collaborate on their project. It was fun for me as well seeing how students work together to produce wonderful projects and I've noticed students learn a lot about their working ethic and self during these projects. It's truly a lot of work and an amazing experience for all.

Notes and Brain Boosters to encourage students to do their best while standardized testing

# data[].attributes.body
I love being the teacher that does "extra." If I have the time, I do special things for my students to in hope make them know they are special and loved. Also, scientifically it is known that words of encouragement help build stronger brain connections. So not only do I give positive feedback on a daily base, but I also do extra special treats to be positive for the students during challenging times like state testing.

I was apart of the Field Day committee and I loved being apart of team to create and facilitate fun outdoor activities for students. I made this flyer and worked with a team to plan, prep, and work this event for the whole school.

I made these flyers for the Talent Show. I was the Talent Show committee where we designed, created, casted, and hosted the school's first talent show. It was the biggest event our school has had! Every moment of this committee was fun! My favorite part was being a stage supporter and encouraging students to perform on stage to showcase their talents. I was also a "stage mom" and learned all the performances and stood off stage during the show performing the whole thing with them to support students. It was so much fun!

The Birthday Bag is just one way I like to build class community. The students take this bag home that is filled with books and a notebook. The birthday person takes it home for their parents to read them the books, write a journal entry for their child that I read in front of the class, and fill it with an item the student is allowed to keep on their desk for the day. The main reason I enjoyed this concept is because of the emotional notes parents write to their child and the emotions that move through all of us in the classroom. We all have cried, laughed, smiled, and felt loved through these letters.

The Teaching Pandemic - nobody wants to talk about

# data[].attributes.body
I created this infographic during my master's program in 2019 before I started teaching. I was writing a lot about burnout prevention because I didn't want to be a statistic or stereotyped for "not being able to handle the profession." These burnout precautions I knew were issues from much research, and they can be reasons for teachers leaving the field of education, but there is MUCH MORE to it... Let me fill you in... Teaching is a job that people chose to do because they wanted to make a difference in children's lives. We all know that childhood is the most crucial stage for brain development, so some can say it is the most important part of one's life because the brain is creating the systems to which you'll live for the rest of your life (not saying that you can't rewire your brain, because you definitely can. It's just programmed as a child and it's harder to rewire as we age). Therefore, teaching is not only about ABCs, 123s, HISTORY, OR Science -being a civilized human in a social world, in (which children can learn a lot through structured or unstructured play)... It's MUCH MORE about creating the world into a better place generation by generation, thought by thought understanding, bringing joy into the day, learning to cope with emotions, and MUCH MORE for me.

The factors that are learning teachers feeling burnt out are the levels of disrespect for the profession from some. You hear it all the time on the internet. Teachers are "qualified babysitters,” so we teachers come back to say "pay me the babysitter rate for each child if that's the case." We are MUCH MORE than babysitters, we should be getting paid MUCH, MUCH MORE.

It's also overworking every day, week after week...many nights at work instead of a home to planning out the week, the events, gather material, clean/organize the learning environment, the progress cards and report cards for 30 kids, the emails, the unimportant and important tasks, the daily meetings over lunch and "preps" that fills me with resentment because we don't have enough time to do it ALL. We all in education need to understand that is the reality that it can not all get done every day. It is a marathon. I have worked in a district where teachers are being overstretched into many jobs, tasks, children, meetings, plans, curriculum, paperwork, and parents is so exhausting, and yet we still come to work every day with a smile and heart of gold to enrich these children's lives, while the job is eating away at our lives in many aspects. This is because the right administration does matter. If a teacher is not meshing well with the culture and administration of the school, it is probably time to move on to a school that will fit your values more.

These issues are REAL and teachers MATTER. These issues are only the tip of the iceberg- being an educator in the flawed educational system in the United States, unfortunately.

Changes need to be made, not just within each school, not just in HR, not just in the curriculum, not just the teacher workload, not just the school systems, not just in legislation, but MUCH MORE in the minds of everyone who overlooks the job of an educator to really make necessary changes for.
I believe these changes will help our teacher pandemic, so qualified teachers who love their job give quality education to the students because we all deserve it.

There is a lot that meets the eye that is hidden inside. What I have learned about myself through these years as I grow is that I love to be passionate about life. I enjoy yoga, reading, good tv shows, cooking, date nights with my husband, movie and popcorn nights with family, game nights and conversating with friends over yummy food, stormy weather, the ocean, laying in any body of water, and watching my daughter being a little social being. I love trying to create a life for my family to thrive. I am a woman who loves having an impact on the future, and that is one reason why I chose to work in education. I enjoy working for something I am passionate about, and when I overload my brain and get stressed out which happens because I am human I cope by controlling what I can, so I clean and organize my environment.
Even on hard days I know I am doing my best to be a dedicated and passionate woman who is a mother of a daughter, a teacher for the future, and a wife to a police officer. Each of these roles has many challenges and responsibilities, but I am grateful to be here and that is what keeps me empowered to live my life of liberation, love, laughter, light, and learning.

Setting the school year off to a good start.
The start of the school year is a stressful time for so many reasons. I like staying organized having a simple supply list, a parent folder that has more information about the school year, a meet the teacher page, forms to fill out, a zip lock bag for spare clothes, and envelopes to collect money for supplies and future field trips. I have found that supporting parents right away is the best start to the school year and makes all feel more comfortable with the new transition.

Notes like this, fill my heart with so much love and my eyes with happy tears. These notes remind me how much I have impacted my students and been a light in their life. My favorite thing about working on campus is walking out of my classroom and getting stopped with a group hug from all my former students. I also love how I have former students coming to my room at the end of each day to say hi, check in on me and share how their day was. These connections I build with students is the best part about the job.

The students LOVE STEAM Challenges. These short and academic challenges are always a super engaging and fun way to demonstrate their skills in a group or individual setting. The process of STEAM challenges is helpful for students to use during other life situations: Asking, Imaging, Planning, Creating, Implementing/Testing, Reflecting, and Improving.

Every month my class focuses on one character trait to build character and work on self-discovery. Some traits we have worked on are Kindness, Respect, Honesty, Integrity, and more. We have detailed and impactful conversations to build the trait into actions/words and thoughts/feelings. Throughout the month I find books and quotes that demonstrate the value of the trait for students to really think about how it relates to them and their experiences to really discover and learn about themself.

This "Rate Yo' Self" was one fun way I track student self-assessment in 2nd grade. In Kindergarten I used a fist to 5 or thumb up, middle, or down. Students will close their eyes to create a trust for each other, and I establish this for students to be honest with themself. This data along with other data (exit tickets, formal and informal assessments) inform me where each student's confidence and maybe even academic level are at. Overall, I use multiple types of data to run the lesson planning, instruction, teaching style, and classroom flow (partners and groups). For example, to create small group instruction, and skills and targets for these small groups. I also use this information to guide the re-teach lessons and/or extension lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Going into teaching I was really nervous that I wouldn't have support from administrators, parents, or co-workers. Luckily enough I found my support in these women who have helped me find my voice in the workplace and navigate challenges that rise in the classroom. The best part about a co-worker's support system is the empowerment and care we give each other each day. It takes a village to rise a child...Well in education it takes a village to get through the school year. Everyone needs support and connections.
