I have been teaching for ten years, all ten at the junior high level. I champion creativity in the classroom and design activities and materials that breath life into each lesson.

Differentiated instruction, formative assessment at times, and whatever works. I'm not married to one mode of teaching.

I find that things I do in my everyday life are easily transferable into the classroom. I might watch a television show and say, "Hey, that can be used in a lesson dealing with such and such." The most successful and enjoyable classroom activities seem to come about this way. There's a story behind every activity that takes place in my classroom.
