About the store
Experience
Josh: I have been teaching since 2008 in middle school Language Arts and Geography. I have taught 6th and 7th grade. I work as a building and district PLC leader, tasked with finding, creating, and modeling best practice instruction.
Teaching style
I believe all students can learn in a differentiated classroom that tries to meet the needs of all learners. I am a classroom facilitator that focuses more on student learning and less on "teaching". Using formative assessment, feedback, and student self assessment around clear learning targets is key to student success.

Josh: I was privileged to have the opportunity to be a finalist for Wyoming State Teacher of the Year. I was named Goshen County School District Teacher of the Year in 2014.

Josh: I have a Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Chadron State College.
Additional biographical information
Josh: Married to my best friend and have the privileged of raising two wonderful young boys.
