TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught in both public and private schools, both overseas, and here in the States. Currently I teach grade 2, but have taught all elementary grades at one time or another. I like to design products that reach the edge of our student population - the "tall poppies" who need more challenge and depth to grow as learners.
