Write Mo' Better

20 combined years of working in ESL, special education, and regular education teaching language arts and literature. Specialized in language development across all domains (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) using the whole Bloom's taxonomy, baby. Hands-on activities, singing, moving, games, Ted Talks, etc. Currently editing psychoeducational reports for private psychologists.

I always wanted to make kids comfortable with challenge, so I used humor a lot (maybe too much?) and an individualized approach. Even though I'm not in the classroom anymore, I still want to help kids become better writers so that they become confident writers as adults. Pretty much everyone has to write sometime, whether it's an essay about how you spent your summer or a police report explaining how three drivers got into an accident.

I was honored with something in grad school, but I don't remember what it was called. Phi Kappa Delta, maybe? Then there's that unresolved dispute with some Eastern bloc judges over the bronze medal in a thesis sentence competition...
