True Colors Personality Test
The first week of school is often times the most challenging, new students all of whom are pretty uninterested in playing ice breakers and hearing about you.

Interactive Notebook Dividers for English/ELA & Special Ed
Students are so used to using their computers for everything, but I love a good pen and paper moment. If you plan on using interactive notebooks this year in your English classes, it helps so much to have easy colorful tabs to organize sections! This makes grading a breeze, and it helps your students to find important information. This includes WOW, Do Nows, Notes and Extras. This resource was made for a special education class, but can be used for any class that doesn't want ultra specific tabs

Teaching style
As an English teacher who works with a diverse population, it is incredibly important to me to build relationships with students and parents. In class, I strive to create a welcoming environment for all students where we can have conversations and healthy debates, discussing life, literature and more. Most of my work is aimed towards preparing students for life and the NYS English Regents Exam.

Additional biographical information
Teaching was my dream job from as long ago as I can remember. It started in my childhood bedroom teaching my stuffed animals and escalated to rearranging my furniture to as closely resemble a classroom as possible. Other kids begged their parents to go to the toy store, I begged mine to go to the teacher supply store. Needless to say, I have a passion for teaching and education. After my first year teaching, I realized the need to create materials that still kept with the standards but were more realistic, creative and engaging!
