TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for 29 years, everything except first and eighth grade. Just retired and working on lots of new stuff! I do custom orders too!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I do not have one particular teaching style. I like to "mix it up." I am always looking for new and better ways to reach kids and inspire their thinking and learning.
