Teaching style
For English language learners I believe in creating lessons that follow the SIOP framework with a particular emphasis on comprehensible input and output as outlined by Stephen Krashen. All of my lessons strive to include a focus on new language acquisition in the form of meaningful engagement in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. My objective is to create purposeful language learning experiences for my students by following the teaching and learning cycle and continually improving my craft as a teacher.

Additional biographical information
Above all, I believe in establishing a community of respect and safety that lowers the affective filter for English language learners. I utilize an ethnographic approach to learning more about my students and families so I can meet their needs and get to know them not just as students and parents but as individuals. I often find I learn much more from them than they do from me as their teacher.
