TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am currently a 8th grade reading teacher, 10th and 11th grade English teacher. I have taught in a public school for a year and a half, and I have taught in a private school setting for over 2 years. I have 2 BA's in English Literature and Secondary English Education. I have a Master's in Special Education, and I am working on my Doctorate in Instructional Technology and Leadership.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in a mixed approach. I think lecture and hands-on is sometimes best when working with older students. I love having in class discussions about the reading and listening to my students' opinions.
