Teaching style
Who am I? I have 20 years of teaching experience with primary children. Most of those years have been with children in 1st and 2nd grades, as well as intensive reading remediation with K-3 students and serving as our school's literacy coach for 4 years.
I believe children learn best in classrooms that are highly engaging and cooperative in design, with a focus on multisensory instruction. Integrated studies are important to me so children experience a connectedness throughout their day and across the year.
