TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've been teaching for three years in a high school setting, but I've been TAing off and on in introductory Literature classes for five years now!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I'm very much an advocate of having students do whatever suits them and having a broad range of activities for student choice. Research shows that we can help them best when we allow them to pursue their interests, so why not!
