About the store
A ceaseless creative, I've been making educational materials for the past six years. Whenever I create a new resource, I do so with Dieter Rams’ adage in mind, “Less, but better.” To me, simplicity is clarity, ease is effectiveness, and engagement is power. They're all things I care about deeply, and, with over 375 positive reviews, it seems other teachers care about them, too.

Experience
A ceaseless creative, I've been making educational materials for the past six years. Whenever I create a new resource, I do so with Dieter Rams’ adage in mind, “Less, but better.” To me, simplicity is clarity, ease is effectiveness, and engagement is power. They're all things I care about deeply, and, with over 375 positive reviews, it seems other teachers care about them, too.
Teaching style
As an educator, I believe it is my role to not only impart a strong content knowledge, but also strong habits, skills, and qualities my students can take with them to every area of their life.
In broad terms, these qualities include empathy, thoughtfulness, clear communication, and a commitment to personal values. Specifically, it looks like critical thinking, quality research, honest writing, and an ability to consider a text (whether literary or nonfiction) from multiple angles. Some of my favorite ways to teach these skills are image analyses, one-pagers, and longer writing projects. I also like student created storyboards, timelines, and anything else that gets students engaged in the work.
On a final note, I'm always willing to try new things, and some of my lesson plans and activities reflect that. I also think teaching digital citizenship is crucial, and I love to incorporate positive technology skills whenever possible.
