ALL ABOUT ME: My name is Brittney DeShazo I am currently a junior at ODU. My major is IDS or Elementary Education (PreK-3). I do plan on furthering my education after college to get my Masters. I am originally from King George County. In high school I ran track, and played tennis and field hockey. I really enjoy hanging out with friends, shopping and going to the beach. I have a twin sister named Brandy and she also attends ODU. I really enjoy meeting new people. I am pretty outgoing for the most part, it just takes me a few minutes to warm up to the situation. Let's see, my favorite foods are ice cream and doughnuts... I know they are both bad for you but, I just can't resist. I love them both! Well, that is pretty much all I have but, if you have any questions, just ask.

TEACHING PHILOSPHY:I believe that all who want to learn should be given an equal opportunity. I believe as a future education my job is to challenge my students. I know that there are many different types of learners. I think one of the reasons why children to not receive the maximum benefit out of their early years in education is that some of the more traditional teachers do not know how to accommodate the different styles of learning. I feel it is important to recognize the different styles of learning a teach accordingly. I think a "good" teacher is able to make their students retain information as well as makes students challenge their selves personally. I believe teachers, especially those in Elementary schools have the potential to make a profound impact on their students lives.
