At the heart of my teaching is a commitment to creating hands-on, differentiated learning experiences that foster autonomy, compassion, and connection. My classroom is a place where students feel safe to take risks, explore deeply, and develop confidence in themselves as learners.
I’m especially passionate about two areas: teaching reading through the science of reading and structured literacy, and embedding social-emotional learning into every part of the school day. Whether it’s a phonics lesson, a science exploration, or a morning meeting, I intentionally weave SEL practices into how we learn and interact as a community.
My goal is always to design learning that is meaningful, inclusive, and responsive to the diverse needs in my classroom. I want students to feel excited about what they’re learning, supported in how they learn it, and empowered to take ownership of their growth. Every resource I share is created with those values in mind.
