About the store
I've taught 7-8 grade English Language Arts for 3.5 years and high school English 9 for 5 years. I've worked with Common Core State Standards extensively: unpacking, creating units, handouts, working with the iPad in the classroom. I've even had the opportunity to work with WestEd advisers. My school has been great with Professional Development and I have worked with people like Ruby Payne and Marcia Tate. These ladies are wonderful!

Teaching style
My classroom is very laid back and comfortable. We run a tight ship in my class with routine, routine, routine, but we also know how to be flexible because things always happen.
