TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for 15 years. 4 years in 2nd grade, 2 years in a multiage classroom (1st and 2nd grade), and the last nine years I have been a Reading Specialist/Literacy Coach. I work with teachers and students to increase student achievement in all things Literacy!

MY TEACHING STYLE

Most of my teaching is done in small groups. I really enjoy working in small groups because I feel that I get to know my student better. I get opportunities to talk with them so that I can get to know them personally as well as academically. This helps me to teach the whole child!

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I am a wife, a mother, and a teacher. I love spending time with my little family. I also love learning new things and sharing what I know with others. I have recently started a small cookie business called Ten24 Cookie Company. Find me on Instagram!
