I have been a public school teacher for the past nineteen years, at the middle and high school levels. During the past sixteen years I have been afforded many professional development opportunities, mostly through the AFT. I am trained in Differentiated Instruction, Data and Assessment, Reading Comprehension Instruction, Teaching Writing, and Foundations of Effective Teaching. I am also a trained evaluator under the Rhode Island Innovation Consortium's evaluation system. Becoming an evaluator has helped me to become more reflective of my practice.
I currently teach 11th grade English to Collaborative- students and honors students.
