Thanks for stopping by!

Teaching style

We like to focus on student engagement through hands-on learning and differentiation.

Awards & shining teacher moments

One of us is a member of Sigma Tau Delta (English Honors Society) and has headed or served on numerous leadership committees. The other is a member of NSCS Honors Society and has graduated with honors in English. The real rewards, however, come from students who are thrilled when they "get it" with new material learned.

My own education history

Together we have degrees in English 1-9, a Masters in Educational Leadership; a bachelor's degree in visual art & English, and an MFA in writing.
