TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I love reading and I love teaching middle schools. The majority of my teaching career has been in 6th grade reading. It is wonderful to explore literature and get students involved in a story and help them succeed.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Being comfortable is a priority in my classroom. That comes from being comfortable where you sit and being comfortable with the people in your room. I help make this happen by utilizing flexible seating and taking time to get to know students.
