NYC Teacher for 8+ years! I have been the General Education teacher as well as the Special Education teacher in 1st through fifth grade. Guided Reading is my favorite! I love creating curriculum and collaborating with teachers and staff to enhance instructional practices and student experience. Most recently I have been a SETSS teacher working with IEP students, intervention groups and at-risk students in grades K-5. Since becoming a mother, I have moved towards tutoring students outside of the classroom as well as creating and sharing products here.
I have been fortunate to always work in a co-teaching model classroom. I believe two is always better than one! Learning from others and working together to meet the needs of all students is the key to success. I love working in small groups, learning centers, 1:1 and having student's needs drive the instructional model and practice. Students are always changing so the way we teach needs to be consistently changing.
