I have been teaching for 20 years. I taught special education for 9 years and 3rd grade for 3 years. I have been a K-12 Instructional/ Tech Coach for 8 years.
I LOVE technology, the CAFE/Daily 5 strategies and am passionate about differentiating for EVERY child. I LOVE to help teachers use data to drive instruction and have conducted multiple coaching cycles, learning labs, data digs and am now working through the curriculum design process. I am a lifelong learner and love learning from others.
