TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught in a middle school setting for fifteen years. I have taught the subjects of Science (Earth Science) and Social Studies (Ancient Cultures) for ten years. The last 5 years I have transitioned into Math and Reading by being our schools RTI teacher.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I have very loud and energetic. I always tell people I do not teach, I entertain. I like when kids are engaged in the lesson and are collaborately working together.
