About the store
I've taught elementary students for the last 8 years. I have had the opportunity to teach the Common Core strands as well as the Texas TEKS. While spending more time in 4th grade, I have also taught 3rd, 5th, and 6th. At times, I taught in a departmentalized setting where I focused on math, but still found ways to incorporate the writing, science, and social studies into math.

About the store

Experience

I've taught elementary students for the last 8 years. I have had the opportunity to teach the Common Core strands as well as the Texas TEKS. While spending more time in 4th grade, I have also taught 3rd, 5th, and 6th. At times, I taught in a departmentalized setting where I focused on math, but still found ways to incorporate the writing, science, and social studies into math.

Teaching style

I love the use of technology, but I don't forsake the fundamentals, like students mastering fact fluency. I am constantly changing it up, so that students don't get bored and I don't get complacent! We do a lot of cooperative learning, and by the end of the year, I want students to become the teachers!

Awards & shining teacher moments

District's Above and Beyond award, ANET award for student performance, ETS awards for exemplary scores on PRAXIS II.

My own education history

B.S. in Business Administration (marketing concentration) Minored in Music and French M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction

Additional biographical information

I am passionate about making math fun and engaging. I try to make sure that my math materials appeal to students of all ethnicities and females, as well as boys.
