About the store

Experience

Ready to wash away your elementary (K-5) math struggles and keep afloat with diverse, rigorous math resources? After 17 years in the classroom & two master's degrees, I still believe teaching is not just my career, but my vocation! I'm currently an elementary math specialist + I travel throughout the region keeping teachers afloat. I have taught child development aged students (six weeks old to Pre-K), kindergarten, first, second, and fifth grades... and was an instructional coach for math and science where I mentored and coached teachers and taught grades Pre-K through sixth grade. I love being able to utilize my firsthand experience of the importance of vertical alignment in a school and curriculum. I currently homeschool my own kids too!

Teaching style

I believe in cultivating a positive classroom culture by making students responsible for their decisions. I teach my students to show respect to themselves and others while solving their own problems as often as possible. I believe that students need to take ownership in their learning and be encouraged in their work as mathematicians. I am passionate about making the academic content accessible and comprehensible to English learners in my classrooms.

Awards & shining teacher moments

School District Distinguished Writer of the Year 2012

My own education history

I have a B.S. in Elementary Education and a M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies focusing on business, history, and political sciences which led me to love writing. (I think the 200+ page thesis paper put me over the edge!) I authored a southwest history book and several educational articles on how English learners thrive in my math classroom due to the use of sheltered and scaffolded instruction. During the pandemic, I earned a M.A. in Curriculum & Instruction, Math Specialist. I use my specialized training to create diverse + rigorous math resources. I LOVE keeping teachers like you afloat in math & more!
