Have worked for over 20 years in schools in Texas and Department of Defense schools overseas. Taught every grade level of high school classes, including honors, Pre-AP, and both AP Language and AP Literature.
Believe in making lessons both relevant to students' lives and fun to do.
I get great Christmas cards from my students every year.
