About the store
My education career started in the Dearborn neighborhood of inner-city Chicago, tutoring kids after school at those long cafeteria tables. The first week, they cussed me out using words I'd never heard and wouldn't come out from under the table. Since then, I've taught first grade, adult ELL, SAT prep, struggling readers, social studies 1-6, you name it! But my heart is still for those "side by side" moments when learners gain a greater sense of what's possible for them. I hope these resources help you and your students find your own "fire-lighting moments."

Haitian Kreyol Cheat Sheet for Teachers and Administrators
If you work with Haitian students, you need this language crash course! This cheat sheet will help you quickly learn the basics of communicating in Haitian Kreyol.
You'll learn basic greetings (good morning, how are you, goodbye), commands (sit down, come with me), and even compliments (great job!). There's also a section for meeting basic physical needs (Are you sick? Do you need a bathroom?). This will be a great resource for those getting to know students and their families from Haiti.

Teaching style
My teaching styles uses a lot of humor, because most of my students think of school as dull and boring. It's interactive and very flexible, based on what opportunities present themselves. I take what I learn from them and run with it.
My own education history
I earned my Bachelors of Arts in Education from Eastern Washington University in 2007, along with my Reading Endorsement. I was certified to teach all subjects K-5 and reading specifically K-12.
