I've served as a Reading teacher K-5, a Differentiated Instruction Coach, an Instructional Coach, as a Team Leader for the primary grades, and a RtI Coordinator for a K-8 school. I've also taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.
I believe in hands-on, engaging, differentiated education. I use games to strengthen skills and keep learning fun and engaging.
