Experience
I subbed for 5 years in everything from Pre-K to 6th grade. I taught school for 16 years in grades 2nd-4th. For 3 years, I worked as a Literacy Specialist. I have an ELAD certification for ESL students. My masters degree is in Curriculum and Instruction, and offer teachers in my area a Professional Development course through Dominican University of California every summer.
Teaching style
I believe students learn best through guided discovery used often in small groups or partnerships where they are able to discuss and question their own understanding. Being able to talk with their peers before sharing their ideas and own understanding gives all students the opportunity to process what they are learning, change perspectives, and grow their understanding and confidence. Every classroom should be a safe place to make mistakes, so that mistakes become normalized and turned into a means to grow and shine.
