I have been teaching high school English, including Advanced Placement Language and Composition, for over twenty years at a large range of schools -- everything from at-risk to academic magnet schools. My amazing students have been my best teachers.
I love teaching as conversation. I can provide information to my students, but they truly take ownership of it when they start to debate and defend and argue about it.
Mellon Fellowship, Heart of Education finalist, Phi Beta Kappa.
I graduated from the University of Arizona in English and got my M.A. in English from the University of Chicago.
