STEAM Career Project & Presentation *EDITABLE*

STEM project plus art!! Many students have no idea what they want to pursue for their future.

Print on different colors of paper, or add c

Math Test Corrections *EDITABLE*

NO MORE RETAKES! Allow students the opportunity to go back and correct their errors on all tests throughout the year. I use this as a way to help with a growth mindset; errors are essential to understanding math. Confidence should not be ruined by grades; it should be supported by understanding. (Print Double-Sided) A simple document that you can make more appealing through editing. TO USE: Grade the tests to identify the weakest areas of the class for reteaching/intervention/differentiation.

Always learning new ways to infuse activity into the middle-school classroom. I'm mostly teacher-centered but believe in providing student's with making their own choices towards their education.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Recognized by the Florida Department of Education as one of the top performing middle-school math teachers every year so far!

My own education history

Master's Degree in Curriculum & Instruction from Argosy University Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, K-6 from USF Sarasota-Manatee Gifted Endorsed, Reading Endorsed, ESOL Endorsed Currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction at Argosy University

Additional biographical information

I love math. I'm an advocate for Common Core Math Strategies. I live for the "AH-HA!" moment of making math matter to my middle schoolers. I believe physical activity is the answer to ANY behavior problem you could possibly have and I believe Gifted kids get the short-end of the educational stick.
