TEACHING EXPERIENCE

*19 years of classroom experience * Middle school and high school English Language Arts and Spanish * Worked with California, Maryland, Florida, and Texas schools * Public and private school sector * Department Chair of Foreign Language Department * Team Lead of 7th Grade * Published poet * Mentor teacher

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in teaching quality BOOKS so I structure my units around novels with skills embedded into the novel activities. While excerpts of books are helpful, students need more time on more text -- beginning to end -- to piece together literary elements in a meaningful way. Students need to be given choices that integrate their learning and skills with their personal talents and interests. This type of deep-dive learning builds knowledge which leads students to successful college and career paths.
