Current and experienced Multiple Subject Teacher that has taught for the two largest school districts in the country - NYC and Los Angeles. Most at home at the most challenging and diverse public schools. Earlier was a tech teacher and supervised a cluster of schools for an award-winning after school program. I graduated from a Big 10 university with a degree from their renowned journalism school which afforded me the opportunity to work in public television news and public affairs and later for a variety of cable and network television shows. Recently completed an M.S. Ed. in OTL (online teaching and learning). With many districts now forced to move learning to online or a hybrid model, I am perfectly suited to do so.

Multiplication Word Problems (Google Slides Version - Editable)
Word Problems... you can hear the groans now... BUT NOT THESE WORD PROBLEMS! :) What makes these different? They're the same old same old, but with a twist... they're each accompanied with animated gifs aligned with the problem theme that will hold your students attention. But best all... they are meant to be PERSONALIZED! Replace the students names in each of the word problems with those of your own students names. Simple to do: highlight the name of each student then type and replace the name.

Teaching style
My pedagogy is predicated on cultually responsive teaching models and beliefs. I align my teaching to student centered, constructivist, paradigms. I believe technology is a necessary component in lesson development and delivery, as well as harnessing the personal devices students utilize in their daily lives. I also adhere to the pursuit of creating a strong community of learners in numerous ways that are reflective of the diversity of cultures I continue to have the privilege of serving.

My own education history
I didn't choose teaching as a career. Rather, it chose me. I began as a radio/tv production teacher at a vocational school in the Upper Midwest. My undergraduate degree is from Indiana University-Bloomington. I received my teaching credential from Antioch University-Los Angeles. And this past December 2019, I completed my M.S.Ed. from CaIifornia State University-East Bay in Online Teaching and Learning! If anything, I continue to pursue Life Long Learning enrichment opportunities, such as, but notwithstanding, attendance at Writer's/Reader's Workshops at Columbia University's Teacher's College.
