I have taught Multilingual Learners for over 10 years in the Twin Cities Metro area. I've taught at High School, Middle School, and Elementary levels, which gives me a wide variety of experiences and strategies!
I believe in writing my own units and lesson plans, in combination with the resources that I have. I implement culturally responsive strategies into every unit, in order to increase student voice and student choice. My students' backgrounds are vital to how they see the world, which is why their backgrounds should be included into my lesson plans.
Yet to be added
I am originally from Appleton, WI where I graduated High School. I obtained my Bachelor's degree from UW-Eau Claire, and my Master's degree from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota.
I love in Eagan with my husband, Scotty, my two children and my parrot, Gigi. I love to write, paint, and learn about other cultures & languages!
