Hello! I am a secondary science specialist for a large urban district. I taught fifth grade math and science for four years in a Title 1 public school. For five years I taught Algebra 1 and eighth grade Science at a middle school, during which I was also the Science Department Chair at my school. I have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of abilities and academic achievement levels including general education, gifted and talented, and students with special needs. I have developed, written, and implemented curriculum and assessments at the elementary and secondary level. I have years of experience creating and presenting individualized, school-based, and systemic professional development.
