I love the middle grades because providing the right support in middle school is critical for a child's emotional and academic development. Middle school teachers have a huge chance to impact a child's live in a positive way, so that is where I've focused my teaching years. I've spend 3 years teaching 7th grade math, 4 years teaching 8th grade math and 3 years teaching students with special needs. I've done lots of work across the grades and done lots of planning across grades levels. I also have spent some time developing and implementing Common Core curriculum and learning resources.
