Teaching style
►IN MY CLASSROOM
It is my goal to maximize learning in the classroom. I try to consider the learning styles of my students when planning. Because of that, I adjust my teaching style accordingly. I would say I implement a balance of instructional methods. You may find me giving direct instruction, while also incorporating hands-on interactive lessons. You would find students in my classroom talking and interacting. There would be a combination of whole group, small group, and partner activities. You would find remediation and enrichment. I strive to keep my lessons fun and engaging while helping students master the standards.

Additional biographical information
►MORE ABOUT ME (and my family)
I am not only a teacher, but I am a mom and wife. My husband of 31 years is actually a retired teacher who taught high school social sciences. Believe it or not, he sat out one year in retirement and then added a special education certificate. In the state of GA, they allow you to go back full time after retirement in the areas of math, science, and special education. So, his former school hired him back and he is at it again.
We have 3 children. My middle child (son) is also a teacher in the field of computer science. My oldest child (daughter) works with patients in the field of prosthetics. My youngest (son) is still at home and is entering high school.
In addition to teaching and creating educational resources, I love to walk, watch reality tv, and watch my kids play sports. I'm also a grandmother. My grandmother name is "Dolly" for 'grand Molly' :-) I also enjoy coffee and shopping.
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
