I am currently a 5th/6th grade teacher in a small native village in Alaska. I have experience both as a teacher and administrator in grades K-12 in addition to background as a Reading Specialist, ESOL instructor, and Mathematics lead. While I stay very busy with the challenges and rewards of being a classroom teacher, I also have a passion for curriculum development and alignment. Everything that I create is tested within my own classroom and aimed at helping teachers implement the Common Core State Standards in an effective manner, increasing rigor, and student engagement!
