Experience

K-12 teacher with 19 years of classroom experience and all grade levels. I mostly taught lower-level German at the elementary school and middle school level for high school credit. I have also taught German levels 1-3 at the high school, as well as, English Language Arts and A.P. Lit and Comp.

Teaching style

Although I started teaching from a textbook at the high school, I created my own materials for the elementary students, starting German language instruction in kindergarten. I fell in love with Tina Hargaden and CI Liftoff several years ago and have been adapting lessons for each class, building themed units, and supporting colleagues ever since.

Awards & shining teacher moments

This past year, my German 1A students (former 7th graders) all passed the high school 1B exam and earned a second high school credit with one year of instruction! Recognized as Teacher of the Year in 2007.

My own education history

I started learning German in high school. I was able to participate in and exchange my junior year and fell in love with the language and culture. After that experience, I studied German in college, spent my junior year in Munich with Wayne State University and Ludwig Maximillians Universität. After graduating with a BA in German and International Studies, I returned to Eastern Michigan University to earn my teaching certificate, which started my teaching career. I started the following fall teaching German as a special in a German Magnet elementary school in Jackson, MI. I moved up to the high school and taught upper-level English for two years before returning to German when a colleague retired. German instruction has been a part of my daily work ever since!
