Experience
My products reflect my own teaching experience and expertise from over 10 years experience with public schools in an urban setting. Currently, I am a Middle School Social Studies teacher, having taught Geography and Ancient World History since SY 17-18. I previously worked as a Reading Intervention teacher and Special Educator. In addition to producing lessons and activities for the classroom, I enjoy creating clipart that connect my students to the content.
Teaching style
Blended Learning Model incorporating: Close Reading, Independent Reading, and Digital Website; Hands-On Projects; Paideia Seminars; Essay and Paragraph Writing Workshops
Awards & shining teacher moments
Evaluated as Highly Effective in my district.
In addition to classroom teaching, I have worked on designing curriculum and lessons at the district level, and served as a professional development leader for teachers in my content areas.
My own education history
I obtained my training and graduate degree via City Teaching Alliance (formerly Urban Teachers Center, Washington, DC). I have been certified and worked in English Language Learning (ELL, ESOL, MLL), Special Education (inclusion and pull-out settings), and General Education (Social Studies and ELA). I have a Masters Degree in Secondary ELA, Masters Degree in Special Education, BA in History, BA in Religious Studies
Additional biographical information
Passionate about connecting students to content! I have a lot of experience working with middle-grade students who are struggling readers and writers. The resources I create are made with the purpose of being able to use them with classes of students who are performing at a wide range of academic levels.
As a social studies teacher, it's also very important to me that the materials I put in front of my students (and on TpT) are respectful and inclusive. In middle school, students often learn about other religions and cultures beyond their personal experience for the first time, and that is a task I do not take lightly.
