About the store
I have been a middle school ELA teacher since 2012, teaching at both private and public schools. In the summer, I spend my time teaching 7th grade, 10th grade, and/or advanced and remedial 12th graders in the public and private school system. At my current school, I teach ELA to grades 4-6 and Religion for grades 5-6, where classes are fully inclusive and focus on high standards while integrating the NYS Common Core Learning Standards and modules. I absolutely love my job and teaching all of my diverse students!
