TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching since 1983. I currently teach in Royersford PA as the gifted support teacher. I teach a variety of subjects. I attempt to take HS material, bring it to a middle school level, and teach it to the younger children. Many of my lessons would be perfect for older children (middle school).

MY TEACHING STYLE

I am a very flexible teacher. I believe teachers need to be well prepared with excellent plans, but be open to make changes depending on the needs of the students.
