TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Over a decade into teaching, I have only begun to see how much I have to learn still! So far, I have had extensive experience with middle school ELA (grades 6,7, & 8) with an emphasis in remedial reading. I spent two years as an Instructional Coach working to support teachers in the classroom. After earning my Master's in Reading Curriculum Development, I moved to 4th grade to teach Gifted and Talented Learners at a magnet school.
