Experience
I taught middle grades language arts for 21 years in a variety of settings, including gifted, collaborative special education, Title I, and International Baccalaureate.
Teaching style
As a kinesthetic learner myself, I prefer to use hands-on and collaborative learning activities, and I like to incorporate music, art, and drama in my lessons.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Over 40 students published locally and nationally, including writing competitions and my state's gifted education newsletter.
Co-founded the English Vertical Team at my middle school in cooperation with the local high school. Developed, with the Vertical Team, a comprehensive 6-8 grade SAT vocabulary word program and a summer reading program. This resulted in a significant rise in SAT scores at the high school.
My students in the various settings, including gifted, general education, and co-taught special education, had the highest or close to the highest scores in every public school I ever worked for.
