Teaching style

Gleaning from sixteen years of experience teaching at the elementary school and college levels, creating lessons and teaching both Reading Comprehension and Writing, I have created and posted worksheets and PowerPoint Presentations on Teachers Pay Teachers. Thousand of teachers have downloaded and used my lesson over the past five years. After taking a Video Production course as part of my online teaching certification at Rutgers University, I decided to videotape my PPTs with my narration and the instruction I would give in my elementary school classes. My videos are colorful, engaging, and interactive. Students can rewind and work at their own pace.
