About the store

Experience

I'm now in my 22nd year of teaching and have taught sixth grade for 13 years, after nine years at 4th grade. Middle school is the best!

Awards & shining teacher moments

Was included in Circle of Excellence three times during undergraduate experience. Finalist for Elementary Education Undergraduate of the Year, as a (very) mature student.

My own education history

Graduated summa cum laude from Buffalo State College as an adult non-traditional student. Received M.Ed in 2006.

Additional biographical information

Still loving the actual art and science of teaching. Nothing compares to that moment when a student's eyes light up and the 'aha' appears! !
