| “A book is a device to ignite the imagination.” –Alan Bennett |
I've been teaching for 22 years. My current experience is in an 8th grade English/Reading classroom. My first 10 years took place in all levels of high school English including basic, honors, and AP courses.
I feel that I am a teacher who can only improve with the help of my students. I have great classroom management, and I constantly seek feedback from my students in all aspects of my instruction. A classroom is a two-way street and one that we both share in order for it to be successful. This has made a huge impact on not only my instructional methods but also the offerings I've put on Teachers Pay Teachers.

I am a wife, a mom of 4, and an educator. Although I teach for a living, I feel like I am always a student in my roles of life.
