TEACHING EXPERIENCE

12+ years of elementary teaching experience. The breakdown: I taught first grade for 7 years, second grade for 2 years, and third grade for 3 years.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My teaching styles involve interaction and student empowerment. My instruction includes deep questioning and engaging conversations between myself and my students as much as possible. I also work hard to empower my students and show them productive struggles, success, and pride in their work. When students start to see that they can contribute and feel successful the blooming that starts to happen is absolutely beautiful.
