TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've seen it all. Classroom Teacher, Elementary Principal, Assistant Superintendent. My love is Picture Books!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I am all about utilizing technology to unlock critical thinking and use of primary sources and informational text in classrooms. Images, videos, one-to-one computing environments as well as hands-on manipulatives are great ways to engage students.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Teacher, administrator, author and professional development provider. Passionate about the classroom and the content. I literally have a TON of lessons that I am going to upload. If there is any topic from K-12 that you might want to see sooner than later - drop me a line. I might have it in my editing pipeline and could move it to a higher priority!!! I ALWAYS upload my files in a form that is editable by you. I firmly believe that you should be able to change things and make them your own!! :-)
