TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my 7th year of teaching HS English: AVID, 9th grade IB/MYP, 11th Grade English, and 12th grade AP Literature and Composition

MY TEACHING STYLE

My teaching style is a mixture of very structured, super quirky, and student centered approach. I have flexible seating my classroom which allows students to work in an environment that is comfortable for them. I strongly practice model teaching because I would never ask students to attempt an assignment without guidance from me first.
