TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught for 4 splendid years in a title one elementary school! My focus is 5th grade ELA and Social Studies! I love to ignite the love for reading within my students! I graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a grades 4-8 certification with a focus in English and Social Studies and a minor in Literature.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I am all about a flipped classroom approach. I love to give my students ownership of their learning with my own direction guiding them. When it comes to resources you will see within my classroom, you will find mine come with guidelines for the students and then the freedom to explore within those boundaries. I believe in promoting the positive in a classroom. I do a whole brain teaching method within my own class, and I love the bond it has created between my students and me!
