TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This is my sixth year teaching 7th grade English. I have taught inclusion, honors, and gifted classes, and I'm excited to share some of the lesson ideas that have worked well for my kids!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to help students see underlying concepts and connections. In life, they won't need to remember novel characters or the chronological order of events in a story, but they will need the thinking skills to analyze text, communicate effectively, and solve problems. I try to create activities that address specific standards while also helping students develop a general understanding of greater concepts that connect to their lives.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

This isn't actually an award for me, but I'm super proud of it: I had a spelling bee student two years ago make it to DC for the National Spelling Bee! SO COOL!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have a BA in English from Old Dominion University with an emphasis in teaching grades 6-12.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I am a new mom to a beautiful one-year-old girl! I'm also fairly new to TpT (I've been selling less than a year) and still learning the ropes, so any feedback on my products or store would be appreciated. Thanks for visiting! :) Follow English Teacher Mommy on Facebook and Pinterest!
