Teaching style
I utilize a "gradual release model" in which I introduce lessons and information to my students and then circulate the classroom providing support. The lessons I create and share via TPT are applicable to that style of teaching as well as many others.
My own education history
I earned both my undergraduate and Masters of Ed. from Ohio State.
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
