I have been teaching sixth grade science in central Ohio for 8 years. I have also taught and tutored sixth and seventh grade math. Additionally, I have experience with many different types of technology and have taught many classes for colleagues on Smart Board integration, Classroom Performance Systems and web-site creation.
I have a passion for integrating math and science in a hands-on way. I believe that students need to learn in many different ways and I try to differentiate content and skills as much as possible. Additionally, I have a passion for technology and use it to increase student attention and participation.
