TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching high school ELA for 17 years. Currently teaching College in the High School. Simple digital slides to guide students through lessons.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in clear instructions, strong examples, and simple steps for students to follow. My products support these ideals. I don't try to over complicate things. I also believe that students need physical copies sometimes.
