Classroom teacher for eight years. Through the years, I taught a variety of high school English courses in grades 9-12. My specialties include AP coursework and Gifted and Talented lessons.
I know I can spot a great lesson when it includes a combination of high engagement, room for self-selection, and profound learning moments. I love students walking away from my lessons having had a unique learning experience.
