About the store
The bulk of my experience comes from teaching Spanish Levels I-III. Over the past 21 years, however, I have also taught English 1-2, Exploratory German, Computer Solutions, and I taught via Distance Learning for 14 years. In this way, I sometimes feel like a "Jack of all trades".
Outside of the classroom, I served on my district's Spanish Curriculum Committee for 6 years, I have been a member of my school's Principal's Advisory Committee, Student Recognition Committee, Diversity Team, and the school's AVID Site Team. I also coached the Boys Soccer team for 9 seasons and I have sponsored the Forensics and Academic Challenge teams for several years.
While my focus has been Spanish Levels I-III, I am certified to teach all levels of Spanish. In my current assignment I teach Spanish Levels II-III and High School English 1-2.

Science Activity Page
Teach Science and conduct your end-of-year reviews in a fun and productive way. I created these activity pages as resources for students as they review key terms and information associated with:
1. The Scientific Method,
2. Taxonomy,
3. Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
Each page contains several activities that support learning while engaging students in ways that seem more like play than learning. The activities that actually appear on the pages differ but were chosen because they are best

Teaching style
As a foreign language teacher, I promote an interactive classroom and I try to develop all of the communicative modes equally. My instruction is not immersive but the formative and summative assessments that I create are realistic, performance-based, and they promote both cultural and communicative competence. Additionally, my learning plans are UbD based and I routinely include AVID and Kagan strategies.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I have been recognized twice with the "You make a difference Award", and I have been "Tagged by the Superintendent" once.
My own education history
I have an A.A.in Liberal Arts from Tidewater Community College and a B.A. in Spanish from Old Dominion University with minors in English and Political Science. I also hold an M.A. in Humanities / Interdisciplinary Studies from Old Dominion University and I am a member of the National Spanish and English Honor Societies.
Additional biographical information
Outside of school I have traveled somewhat extensively. I lived in Germany for 2 years, I have visited Austria, Canada, Ecuador, England, France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Monaco, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Peru.
It is always my pleasure to share my experiences and the classroom resources that I create with others. Like many of you, I am a life-long learner and I want to collaborate with other professionals in our efforts to provide the most effective instruction possible to our students.
I am also a U.S. Veteran and current member of the Civil Air Patrol.
