Teaching style

Modeling how to think while reading and writing is the core of my teaching style. Color-code everything! My favorite quote about educating is from Rita Pierson: “Every child deserves a champion—an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.”
