I am entering my 16th year of teaching, and I was Teacher of the Year for my school during 2010-2011. I have taught in the U.S. and England. I have taught 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grades. I have taught English, Social Studies, Drama, and AVID.
I have high expectations of all my students, with regards to effort and behavior. I love using interactive technology to drive learning, and I think students learn best when they are involved in the learning process.
