E2E Great Gatsby Chapter Quizzes SPED ELL Accommodations Audio Read Aloud
I’m not a huge fan of multiple choice style quizzes; I prefer to assign writing. HOWEVER, I’ve had classes that needed the accountability of knowing a test was coming after EVERY CHAPTER in order to find the motivation to read (or even listen as I read to them). That much writing would digitally bury me for eternity. Even worse, I’ve noticed my SPED and ELL co-teachers scrambling to get modifications and accommodations completed on the fly, which isn’t ideal for ensuring clean student copies. N

E2E Job Interview Questions Full Year Daily Bell Work Prompts
My seniors are stressed out about job interviews. Majorly stressed out. My colleagues and I tried to give them a crash course in job interview questions, but it was too much information shoved at them too quickly in too short a time frame. It didn't stick. They needed ongoing practice, given out a little bit at a time, so the concepts would gel.

E2E Recognizing Cults & Mind Control Structured Research Unit--13 Digital Docs!
When I read a story short about a cult with my ninth graders recently, I knew I was in trouble. Not only could they not identify that the manipulation and abuse described in the story characterized a cult, four of them over the course of the day expressed some variation of “that place sounds kinda nice.” Good grief. If we don’t teach these kids about cults, they’re doomed. I don’t want to read about some sweet kid from my class getting murdered on a compound in the middle of nowhere. Not on my w

Teaching style
I don't talk down to kids and balance treating them like young adults with setting firm boundaries and expectations. I'm not a fly by the seat of my pants sort of teacher; I create a very structured setting to meet expressed student need.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My colleagues said I was the least-obnoxious of the special service providers when I worked in SPED. That's like an award, right...?

Additional biographical information
You know what I really dislike? Going to staff development, workshops, or symposiums where all the presenters do is jabber in sweeping generalities without ever telling me HOW to accomplish the lofty ideals being espoused. Okay, I actually hate that (dislike is an understatement).
That's why I have sought to write materials that lead teachers, step by step, through the process of meeting students' ELA and SECD needs. You know that box you have to check on an IEP? The one that says how many "minutes of instruction" you'll give the kid or how you'll help the kid meet his goal? My materials actually help you DO that...not just talk about it.
