About the store
My instructional experience has primarily been in upper elementary, third through eighth grade. I have taught English Language Arts with Science and Social Studies integration. I have taught Standards Based in my classroom for many years, utilizing DBQs as a resource.
For the past couple of years I have taken on the role of a Teacher Leader. This role allows me to have my own block of ELA/SS/SCI for 50% of the day, then provide instructional coaching to other grade levels through: instructional strategies, Differentiated Instruction, Data analysis, and Standards Based instructional practices. While working as a Teacher Leader, I have been in Tier 3 high needs schools. These are schools with 100% economically deficient students with historically failing school grades. In my current school after one year of a turnaround effort and implementing standards based instructional practices 3-5th grade, we were able to go from a F to a B. This is very difficult, but rewarding work.

Experience
My instructional experience has primarily been in upper elementary, third through eighth grade. I have taught English Language Arts with Science and Social Studies integration. I have taught Standards Based in my classroom for many years, utilizing DBQs as a resource.
For the past couple of years I have taken on the role of a Teacher Leader. This role allows me to have my own block of ELA/SS/SCI for 50% of the day, then provide instructional coaching to other grade levels through: instructional strategies, Differentiated Instruction, Data analysis, and Standards Based instructional practices. While working as a Teacher Leader, I have been in Tier 3 high needs schools. These are schools with 100% economically deficient students with historically failing school grades. In my current school after one year of a turnaround effort and implementing standards based instructional practices 3-5th grade, we were able to go from a F to a B. This is very difficult, but rewarding work.
Teaching style
My teaching style centers around self-paced mastery of standards. This means that each individual child is learning their grade level standards at their individual pace. This requires lots of organization, procedures, and high expectations. I have taught this way for a couple years now and the overall outcome has been amazing. I have some resources that I use religiously in my shop to help with this process if this is something you are interested in starting.
Additional biographical information
Besides my career in education, I also play the role of mother and wife. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 18 years. We have four beautiful daughters together who are 16, 11, 6, and 3.
