I have been teaching in Maryland and West Virginia for nine years. In those years, I have taught a diverse selection of students, including English Language Learners, Special Education, and Honors, Advanced Placement, and Academy (top 10% of a class) students, I have also taught many types of classes: ELA 9-12 (on-grade and honors), AP Literature, Read 180, Creative Writing, Journalism, Newspaper, Broadcasting, and Yearbook. Somewhere in the midst of those classes, I was able to attain National Board certification.
