TEACHING EXPERIENCE

15 years in the classroom! 11 years in the home! 35 years of books! A lifetime of creativity!

MY TEACHING STYLE

If I'm talking, the students aren't listening to me for long. I know that students learn best when they are involved. Aside from teaching in the high school, I have 4 young kids. It was in my role as a mother that I learned the power of using my creativity to instill a love of reading into my children. In that way, motherhood transformed me into the teacher that I am today. Nothing makes me happier than bringing books to life in my classroom. I’ve worked hard to create fun, engaging, and effective activities that make reading magical for my students. No matter how young or old they are, all students love looking at literature in a new, creative, and outside-of-the-box way. My hope is to share more materials that will help all teachers become the engaging educators we all strive to be despite our lack of time to create the fun stuff.
