TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Hello! Jax and Jake is a partnership between an English teacher who has taught high school for six years and an illustrator who has successfully worked in the profession for over ten years. We strive to provide creative, differentiated products, which are aligned with common core standards.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Teaching style includes a modified work-shop approach. The challenges of class size, range of abilities, and ESL confirm the necessity of differentiation and pre-assessments.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

A favorite honor is a Teacher Appreciation Award 2013 from the United Parent Council.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Post-baccalaureate in Education (English) and a BFA.
