TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Hi! I'm Blair and I teach high school English in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. As a public school, we pull a lot of diverse students from the central Ohio area. My materials are meant to stretch the brains of all my kiddos, regardless of ability and background. Hopefully you find the same for your students!

MY TEACHING STYLE

No day in my classroom looks the same; I believe in student choice and strong visuals to help students stay focused.
