TEACHING EXPERIENCE

While I am "fresh" in the profession, I feel that everyone can contribute to others.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I use a variety of styles to reach all students when it suits. I try to maintain structure within my classroom to ensure safety (I have a lot of IEPs that require that super structure).

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

EVERYTHING FREE! I'm so frustrated with the idea that we spend so much time creating, and then limit access to other educators. Take what you need, leave me feedback. Let me know if you changed anything (just because I'm curious and always looking for different ways to use the same activity). Let me know how your kids like the activity.
