I developed this problem solving strategy when I was getting my masters. I started using it and I was amazed at how much having a plan when solving word problems really helped students. Some kids have no idea where to start when they read a word problem. This strategy serves as a stepping stone, assisting students in initiating the problem-solving process and outlining a plan. If you find this strategy appealing, I also offer a product named “Problem Solving Strategy and Lesson” that revolves

Teaching style
I've seen many teaching trends come and go, and I adapt to what I feel is best for my students at the time. I love using hands-on materials and work hard to differentiate my instruction to meet my students' needs.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I’ve been honored with both Teacher of the Year and Coach of the Year, but the recognition that matters most doesn’t come with a plaque. It’s the moments when former students reach out—like the one who served as a teleprompter operator during the Obama administration and now handles communications on a Navy ship. Others have become doctors, engineers, and surveyors. As educators, we plant seeds we may not see bloom for years. Hearing their stories reminds me why we do what we do—and why it’s always worth it.
