I taught for 20 years. For three years I taught middle school, then for the rest of my teaching career I taught AP, IB and traditional Language Arts classes. I am descended from teachers and want to continue to help and support teachers as I was helped and supported.
Relational, malleable, balanced. I think a teacher has to be so many things in the span of a class period. My goal was to create organized, thoughtful plans that could be changed on the fly to suit the needs of the moment. I wanted student input and feedback on our lessons since they were the biggest stakeholders in the classroom. I always tried to read the room and plan accordingly.
My students consistently scored above the national average in IB Language A: Literature, scoring well in the individual assessments as well as aggregate marks.
