Experience
28 plus years teaching language arts, reading, and drama in two middle schools in Florida.
Teaching style
I was a teacher of middle school language arts for over 28 years. My schools were high SES schools, so I tried to come up with challenging assignments for my students. I expected my students to read outside of class, so I often created reading quizzes to make sure that they did so with reasonable retention of important characters and events from each chapter. I also enjoyed creating assignments that were more open-ended, and allowed students to work up to their level and beyond, with no one correct answer.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was team leader for over half my teaching years and received National Board Certification early in my career.
