TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught English Language Arts for almost a decade across middle and high school grade levels. I have created and implemented reading and writing curricula across all levels, ranging from at-risk intervention to gifted and talented courses.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My goal is to help students grow in their abilities to navigate and delight in words through reading, writing and speaking. I seek to provide opportunities that genuinely and appropriately challenge my students to think critically about their own words and those of others. In order to help my students read and write forever, I cultivate lessons and resources that seek to spark curiosity and passion in my students.
