TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Recently un-retired K-12 reading specialist and classroom teacher. 30+ years of classroom experience at multiple levels.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Hands-on differentiated learning, tailored to the individual needs of each student, when possible. I believe that differentiation should not mean "dumbing down," but providing access so that all students can learn. I believe in engaging learners with real world situations and project-based learning.
