I have been a classroom teacher, a Reading Specialist, a Title I teacher, and as a Curriculum Specialist assisting teachers in diagnosing student academic needs and designing and providing activities to classroom teachers. In addition to many District Professional Development Workshops, I have also taught university classes in teaching gifted students, creative writing, and computer skills. I have monitored/reviewed school site plans, parent involvement activities, and Title 1 staff development.
I believe students learn best when they are Engaged in Learning with Creative and Fun Activities that meet individual needs and learning styles and cover basic skills. My goal is to create quality enrichment materials that are motivating and fun for students and easy to use for teachers.
