TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Taught grades 7-12 in English/Language Arts, Reading, and Social Studies. Currently an Instructional Coach with a Literacy focus.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe that learning should be engaging - everyone has an innate desire to learn, even if school sometimes suppresses it. If we can make learning transparent and engaging, all learners can be successful!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

School Teacher of the Year, African-American Parents' Group Certificate of Appreciation

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

BA in Journalism (Public Relations sequence); NC teaching licenses in English, Reading, and Social Studies; M.Ed in Educational Leadership; Coaching training through University of Pittsburgh's Institute for Learning.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

While I continue to work with teachers and students in the upper grades, which I love, I also do a lot of work with my 5-year-old son at home to support his areas of interest and fan his natural spark of curiosity. So I'll share things I create from both areas!
