About the store
Experience
I have taught 5th and 6th grade English and Social Studies, both separately and together as "Humanities" and a myriad of different creative writing classes focused on specific types of stories such as mystery.
Teaching style
I believe students learn best when they can be creative and have access to information in the way they feel most comfortable and are most successful. All of my assignments are able to be modified to meet students where they are and can be differentiated for specific needs. I'm a big believer in graphic organizers, outlining, planning and breaking work down into steps, especially written assignments. I absolutely love reading and sharing books with my students, whether their own independent reading or our class novels.
My own education history
I went to Goucher College and received a BA in English and Secondary Education. I then went to Bank Street College for graduate school and have a masters in Elementary and Special Education.
Additional biographical information
While teaching English is what I love, what's more important to me as a teacher is helping students learn about themselves, gain confidence, and feel successful. Above all I want them to be kind to each other and to themselves. I try to choose books and create assignments that help them learn about the world around them as well as who they are. My goal is help make my students a bit more well rounded and arm them with skills and love.
