TEACHING EXPERIENCE

* year one: preschool (suburban Pittsburgh) * year two: 3rd grade (urban Chicago) * year three: 7th grade (urban Chicago) * year four: 7th/8th grade (suburban Evanston) * year five: K-6 tech/7th grade (suburban Evanston) * year six: 7th/8th grade (suburban Evanston) * year seven: 7th/8th grade (urban Chicago) * year eight (currently) : 7th/8th grade (urban Chicago)

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in a student centered teaching philosophy where students are given the power to learn via necessary tools (instruction) but choose their own path by problem solving via group work, research and communication. This power to make decisions leads to skill building and most importantly, confidence for each individual learner. I believe the most important feeling a teacher can give a student is confidence.
