TEACHING EXPERIENCE

My mission is to help you streamline your teaching day because every teacher deserves the weekend to relax! I enjoyed teaching 19 years in grades 3, 4, and 5. Now I'm following my passion of creating resources and organizers for educators. Get your FREE resources at my blog. I am a published author of many books, 12 of them for English learners, (EL, ESL). I am innovative and creative, and want to engage students and get them excited about learning. Https://teacherwriter.co Xoxo, Suzanne Pitner, the TeacherWriter. P.S. A portion of the proceeds from your purchases goes to support women in Spanish speaking countries to improve their lives through education and entrepreneurship. Thank you for your support!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love to have fun in the classroom! The more the students are engaged, the more fun I have teaching them. I have a very personal style and I love to see the happy smiles on the faces of my students and their parents. My philosophy has always been this: "Think before you speak. Give your everything to their learning. Make them feel like geniuses." I actually have this laminated and posted at my desk as a constant reminder. That's the key to being a teacher your students will remember.
