Experience
I've taught for over twelve years in grades second through fourth, self-contained all subjects as well as departmentalized. I have also taught 10th and 11th-grade history for a semester.
Teaching style
I like seeing students engaged and working in cooperative groups as much as possible. I facilitate this with more hands-on station ideas. I also add worksheets into stations and small groups to help students master skills independently and practice together.
