About the store
After 21 years as an educator, one would think I have this lesson planning thing in the bag! However, I am constantly refining, refreshing, and completely scrapping and starting anew. My teaching experience includes middle school and high school experience in the Language Arts, Literature, English, Grammar, Writing, Composition, Reading, US History, Government and so much more! My experience knows no boundaries, as I have online teaching experience, as well as in traditional brick and mortar schools. I have also served as an AVID Coordinator, instructional coach, data coach, and curriculum coach.

My own education history
I graduated with Bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education and History Education and did my student teaching at the middle/high school level. My Master's in Education and other graduate work is in Teacher Leadership through Walden University.
Additional biographical information
I came from the Great Plains (Little House on the Prairie Territory), have lived southwest of the US (think Zane Grey novels), and think I have found my forever home in the great PNW (think Sasquatch). Teaching has always been my passion and helping students find some invisible truth about themselves makes it all worthwhile. My current journey has led me to move beyond the classroom and work to bring engaging and meaningful professional development to educators.
