TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have 18 years of teaching; 14 in elementary school and four in middle school. As both a general education and special education teacher, I've created differentiated lessons to engage all learners. My products reflect my many years teaching grades 4 through 7 and my most recent endeavor: kindergarten! Check out some of my new kindergarten materials.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Direct instruction and small collaborative groupings are my teaching style. I personally like students to think, question, and explain their own reasoning and logic, but direct instruction is still needed to make sure they're not creating misconceptions about a topic. Creativity is a keystone of my teaching style - keep them engaged and differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all students!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Nominated as 'Teacher of the Year' by PTSA, 2016.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have a B.A. in Anthropology, a multiple subject credential, and an educational specialist credential.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Creating connections with students is really important. I usually volunteer for student-based activities on my campus, such as heading up student council, running positive behavior programs, or organizing thematic activities. Take a look at my store and you'll find lots well-thought-out activities, lessons, and freebies.
