Teaching style

Whole child, research-based best practice. I follow PBIS as well as strategic teaching with fidelity.

Additional biographical information

Wife and mother of 2 sweet girls. I became pregnant for the second time after fertility problems DURING grad school. I managed to graduate on time, which deserves an award of some sort :). I taught preschool in the private sector for 10 years before returning to receive my Masters and teacher certification. I'm a perfectionist, teacher-nerd who creates teacher resources for fun and relaxation :) crazy, I know, but true!!
