Intro to Welding I Welding I
My name is Ashley Jones, and I am an aspiring and enthusiastic teacher ready to start on my Welding teaching journey.
I have over 6 years of experience in the field of Welding and 3 years of experience in the classroom, where I had the privilege of working with High School students in Special Education. I also had the opportunity to contribute to curriculum development for Special Education. Additionally, I sponsored extracurricular activities, allowing me to engage with students beyond the classroom.
Now, as I start my first year as a full-time teacher, I am incredibly excited to bring my subject knowledge, pedagogical skills, and enthusiasm to your school. I am looking forward to know students and fellow teachers to create an engaging and supportive learning environment.
