Behavior Tracker

This behavior tracker is used for keeping track of student behavior to help with conferences, goal setting, IEPs, and counseling.

The numbers at the bottom are what I write down for each day. This can travel with them from class to class or stay in your one classroom.

Teaching style

My teaching style is rooted in trauma-informed care, restorative justice, and community building, with a strong foundation in psychology and child development. I believe that learning happens best in safe, supportive environments where every student feels seen and valued. I also love bringing a little weirdness and humor into my lessons to spark curiosity, lower barriers, and make the classroom a place where students can relax and engage. My resources are designed to foster connection, creativity, and critical thinking while keeping things fun and meaningful.
