Together, teacher friend, let’s do our best job and teach these kiddos a thing or two about the world around us.
I've taught special education to upper elementary and middle school students for 17 years. Before that, I had experience with elementary school students - general and special education. While my caseload changes yearly, I have taught mostly reading and science classes. I do have some social studies experience as well. Currently, I also serve as a building union representative and a Technology Integration Lead Teacher.

Teaching style
I love mixing it up. In a middle school environment, it is sometimes necessary to need to lecture. Still, I try to always include a hands-on experience or some form of technology in each lesson to keep their motivation high. Excited, motivated, engaged students will only make me more excited and motivated to be a better teacher.
