Addition Fact Fluency (by Strategy) Assessments
This set of addition fact strategy assessments does much more than typical timed math fact tests. Students master the simplest strategies (like +0) and progress to more difficult strategies (like make a 10). Be sure to download the free recording sheets to document student progress.
Students who are working below level can complete the assessments with a sum less than 10. Students above level can try to complete the same strategy their peers are on, but by finding the missing addend.

Experience

Teaching style
My daily teaching goal is 100% engagement in whatever we are doing. I don't know if the saying, "the student who does the work, does the learning" is a famous quote, but it was made famous to me by Mrs. Kay Wait.
Awards & shining teacher moments
In 2013, I wrote and published an article in The Reading Teacher, a journal by the International Reading Association. It's called, "Let Me Tell You a Secret: Kindergartners Can Write!"
You can read the abstract here:

In 2010, I had the honor of meeting President Obama at the White House. I was invited by my teacher's union (AFT) and got to see the Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act (HR 1586) be passed in the senate, then signed by the president himself. It was definitely the silver lining in being laid off twice in three months.
