About the store

I'm a teacher by day and super hero by night. I rely on technology and imagination in order to foster higher learning. When students open their minds, they create their best work. I believe that student creations are the product of imaginations at their very best. Nothing in the world can match up to the imagination of a child. My goal as a superhero, aka teacher, is to foster the imaginations and cognitive minds of my students so that they can create a positive future for us all.

IN A NUTSHELL: This project is combined with my teaching of “The Kite Runner,” by Khaled Hosseini.

In this unit’s project, students learn about the historical influences over the last 100 years, that countries/organizations have placed on the country of Afghanistan.

Do you students often forget or become confused as to what they should annotate within their texts? Mine sure do!

Once students have read through Sir Conan Doyle's great story, "The Hound of the Baskervilles," they are tasked with the job to "persuade" their fellow peer group into reading/watching the story. This is a great project unit that works well after teaching basic persuasive techniques, such as Ethos/Pathos/Logos. As a bonus, I bring in a panel of judges from outside of our class (teachers, past students, etc) to evaluate the projects, as well as vote for the Most Persuasive, Most Creative, and Mos

Experience

Teaching style

I have high expectations for my kids, a positive and upbeat (and often goofy) teaching temperament, and I run a classroom that requires respect and nothing but the best out of each student. Currently, I teach English and Academic Support in a college-prep high school, working this last year as a writing instructor, 9-12th grade English teacher, Pre-AP coordinator for the English Dept., and Academic Support moderator. Previously, I worked as the leader of Common Core alignment within my district, head of the English Department, and monitored the ESL programs within my school and lower grades. Because of my ESL training, my lessons tend to be divided between lecture/notes/discussions combined with in-class activities, group work, and school-wide activities. Simply put, I get bored doing the same thing every day so how could I expect my kids to sit through it, as well?
