Additional biographical information
I have found that there are very limited resources for teaching academic language in science, and that many of the resources are too advanced for some of my students. I love creating simple, easy to use resources that teach the content standards while developing academic language. I create resources that can be easily modified to accommodate ALL of my students - higher level, lower level, ELLs, and SWD. My goal is to create resources that clearly showcase & teach the content standards and key information.
