About the store

Experience

I have been teaching since 2009. Most of my time has been spent in an inclusion classroom and I'm always looking forward to new challenges. Everything in my store has been field tested in my own classroom with my own bunch of lively fifth graders.

Teaching style

Often times, I'm barefoot and sitting on the floor with my young scholars, fully engaged in our discussions. I believe in hands-on, cooperative, collaborative discussion-based learning.

Awards & shining teacher moments

DEN Star, DENSI (2013 & 2015), MEMTA (2012), and so forth.

My own education history

Undergraduate degrees? Check. Masters Degree? Check. Tech Endorsement? Check. Masters +32? Check. Currently looking at a second masters or a PhD program. I'm never done learning.
