My middle name should be adaptable, at least when it comes to my teaching career. Through the years, my husband's job has moved us from state to state. My first experience was in a self-contained gifted and talented third grade classroom. Through the years, I have worked with students with autism, E.S.L., dyslexia, kindergarten, first grade, third grade, and dyslexia tutor. I volunteered in a middle school helping the core class, reading specialist, librarian, and E.S.L. teacher.
I've now had the privilege of teaching in three different states and volunteering in a fourth state. I've taught in schools as small as 300 students and as large as 2,000 students, both public and private school, from a Title I school to schools where funds were readily available. From this wide range of experiences I've gained wonderful insights of a broad spectrum of what education is all about. You will find my lessons and materials are an accumulation of my experiences.
