TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have 8 years of teaching experience in both ELA and social studies.

MY TEACHING STYLE

It's all about literacy and critical thinking about our place in the world. I predominantly teach "low income" students, and mostly students of color, which requires me to check myself and innovate with every lesson. The old way won't cut it with these kiddos. They need movement, engagement, alternate histories, and high-interest texts to keep them learning. I love what I do.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
