Teaching style
I love the subtleties of how students receive knowledge. When I create lessons my thinking always goes to trying to figure out how to challenge the over achievers and how to motivate the reluctant learners. As a person who struggled in school, I feel that I am uniquely attuned to the needs of the kids who are not necessarily easy to engage. I love gathering relevant and meaningful resources and writing power point lessons designed to make kids have that light bulb moment.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Often times kids feel like no one listens to them but through the world of books, engaging texts, and the subject of writing students now have a voice and a powerful way to be heard.
