I found success teaching 8th grade English Language Arts for three consecutive years. I also have experience teaching at the 6th grade and 10th grade levels.
While my focus is to differentiate instruction and to challenge and support all levels in reading and writing (and speaking and listening), I promote and incorporate social emotional learning (SEL) as well. I am all about teaching the whole student.
At the end of my first year teaching 8th grade ELA, I received an award from my school nominated by the students.
I graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with my bachelor's degree in English and Secondary Education. I recently earned my endorsement in ESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) through the University of St. Francis as well.
