Eighth grade social studies teacher for 16+ years, I've taught honors, level-one, collaborative, and regular ed., as well as seventh grade. I've also been a volunteer tutor at a residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility for youth ages 12-19.

My daily classroom goal is to aid students to be good citizens, supporting and learning "with and from each other," as they grow toward becoming highly independent, responsible learners.
