About the store

For nearly 17 years, I have been teaching the GED to adult men inside correctional facilities. I love my job! In 2023 I was made Correctional Teacher of the Year for my state, and in 2024 I was made Regional Teacher of the Year.

We do a ton of sentence structure review in my G.E.D. classes. Good sentences are essential for good writing, and the G.E.D. test requires written answers on the Language Arts, Science and Social Studies sections. I use this review worksheet as a warm up in class to reinforce lessons from previous classes and keep ideas fresh in my students' minds.

Experience

Teaching style

I am a goofball. I'm not afraid to be silly and make mistakes. I strive to engage with my students as people so they can see that despite our circumstances, we really aren't that different. My students know that I have their best interest in mind, and I would never ask them to do something without first showing them how it's done. I model everything!

Awards & shining teacher moments

In 2023 I was named Correctional Educator of the Year by the Correctional Educators Association of Ohio. In 2024, I was named Region 3 Correctional Educator of the Year.

My own education history

I have my BA in English from The Ohio State University and I have my MAEd from Mt Vernon Nazarene University in Curriculum and Instruction.
