I have over 20 years teaching experience in a variety of classroom settings and ages. I also have a PhD. in literacy with a specialization in Children's and Young Adult Literature.
I love hands on and collaborative learning. I also tend toward project based assignments. Games play a prominent feature in my personal instruction as well. Many of my resources will be applicable for homeschool families who are in search of open and go literature studies.
