Experience

This is my 22nd year teaching in a Title One public school--although I have experience teaching many grade levels, the majority of my teaching years are in the upper grades. My favorite being 4th grade. :) In addition, I hold a certification in Pre-K through 6th grade and a Literacy Specialist License.

Teaching style

I am fluent in Balanced Literacy and I use the workshop model in reading, writing, and math. I use data from conferences, small groups, and assessments to drive my instruction. I use differentiated instruction within math and literacy stations, individual conferences, and in strategy/guided groups. I strive to create experiences for students that foster independence, voice, and choice.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My work around student ownership and innovation was featured at the ASCD National Conference in Chicago! (March 2019)

My own education history

I attended SUNY Oneonta where I graduated with honors in Elementary Education. I had a concentration in English and a Special Education Minor. I went to Bank Street College of Education in Manhattan and received my Masters in Literacy Specialization.

Additional biographical information

I aspire to be a coach that helps teachers continue to be inspired and passionate about the teaching profession.
