As a teacher I have taught a wide range of students from Second through Eighth Grade and loved every minute of each grade level for different reasons. As a presenter, I speak and train teachers from Pre-Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade about Interactive Notebooks, Differentiated Instruction, Math Workshop, Special Education Strategies and more! Math is a passion of mine rooted all the way back to being in school myself and now that I am able to pass on the love for learning math, I enjoy working to differentiate materials to reach the needs of learners at their ability and interest level.
I have become an avid believer in using an Interactive Notebook mixed with Differentiated Work Stations (also known as centers or Math Workshop) to engage and motivate my learners. My students have responded so well and are constantly asking for more in class and that is what motivates me to constantly create engaging lessons.
