TEACHING EXPERIENCE

7th Grade English teacher, 10th Grade English teacher, 11th Grade AP English teacher, 12th Grade English Teacher Adjunct Professor Vice Principal (Academics), Testing Coordinator, Instructional Coach, High School English District Coach, Master Mentor Teacher, Lead Writer, Chief Editor, and published journalist and author of various articles.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Student-centered direct instruction with critical and layered higher-order questioning, while modeling passion and scholarship and creating opportunities for meaningful performance-based assessment. The larger purpose behind learning comes first, as concepts for life and the larger world that can relate to anyone are at the heart of meaningful lessons. I strive to create the space and opportunities for students to become passionate, life-long learners who progress into colleges and careers beyond high school with real purpose and drive to make a positive difference.
