TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Half of my 26 years of teaching has been spent working with first and second graders and the other half working with teachers. Truly a perfect circle. As a result, I understand that learning is learning. Whether it be first graders or Master’s students, new teachers or veteran teachers, the bricks and mortar of successful learning are the same.

MY TEACHING STYLE

To teach all learners no matter the age, we need to dance with them and my favorite teaching is leading from behind. I will always dance and teach on!
