About the store
I worked as a substitute paraeducator and teacher in the Syracuse City area throughout college. Then after college I completed two long-term subbing positions as a K-5 Swim PE Teacher and then three months in a high needs Title 1 Kindergarten class. Then I started teaching Health in Philadelphia, PA and transitioned into a 4th grade teacher in that school, due to the need for general education teachers. After this role, I worked as a Climate Liaison, or Dean of Discipline in Philadelphia for another two years. Now I am working as a School Counselor in Vermont! I have taken a long and winding road that has provided me with a lot of different points of view and experience that I use while making materials for students today.

Decision Making using YRBS Data
This is a three day "unit" that focuses on how our values, beliefs and attitudes impact our behavior. It works as a great introduction into decision-making and risk-taking behaviors. Day one the students address the difference between norms and perceived norms. On day two, the national YRBS data is presented and compared to the "class norms." Next, the students compare national data to their state data. Each lesson ends with an exit ticket that addresses norms, or decision making.
