Experience

I am a curriculum writer and designer with 20 years classroom experience teaching in diverse, urban, public school settings. I am currently researching, writing, and designing NGSS aligned curriculum in California pubic schools. I specialize in Middle School science, but I have additional experience in teaching all subject areas. I have been writing and designing curriculum for use in my own classroom, and for testing and piloting at the district level. I have been selling curriculum online for 15 years.

Teaching style

My teaching philosophy embraces hands on scientific inquiry and project based learning. Students are taught critical thinking skills as they practice reading, writing, academic discussion, and argumentation throughout the curriculum. Excellent teaching methods, often reserved for students with special needs and English language learners, are woven through each and every lesson, and benefit all students. Some of these methods include utilizing high frequency word walls, interactive notebooks, graphic organizers, chunking and annotating text, guiding student work with rubrics, foldables, kinesthetic learning, etc.
