TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been a teacher since 2006, including work in special education, grades K-8, reading, writing, math, science, social studies, positive discipline, multicultural education. I work primarily with struggling readers and ESL students, but my classes are mixed-ability with reading Lexiles ranging from BR-1300: differentiation is key! On average, I increase the percentage of my students meeting state standard by 20-35% of students compared to their own previous year's test, and current average growth is 2 years. In a typical year, 60% of my students enter my room having passed the previous year, and I increase that to about 80-90%.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Socio-emotional intelligence, hands-on. Fun with inspiration and RIGOR!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Award of Excellence for Student Achievement on 8th Grade Reading STAAR; 7-STAAR Campus, Texas Met Distinction in All Areas; Campus Teacher Appraisal: Level 4/4 "Instructional practices result in exceptional student learning impact."
