Success in Second Grade

I have been a classroom teacher in Miami-Dade county for 11 years and the second grade chairperson for the past 7 years. My forte is Reading, Language Arts, and Writing in the primary setting. I love getting the students' comprehension levels to sky rocket by the end of second grade.

I love to use Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences teaching style in my classroom. Not all students learn at the same speed or in the same way. I like to use a lot of student surveys to learn about my students' differing learning ways. I also love to use brain learning strategies in the classroom. Get up, wake up that brain, and learn!

Mentor Teacher

Bachelors in Elementary Education from Barry University ELL endorsement (ESOL) from Barry University Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in Educational Technology from the University of Florida

Along with a love for teaching students, I have an affinity for igniting a passion in teachers both novice and veteran. I love inspiring other teachers and reminding them why we initially got into the profession of teaching. I love sharing ideas with like-minded educators and being a life long learner in and out of the classroom.
