TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am a classroom teacher going into my 6th year of teaching. One of my passions is explicitly teaching social skills to ALL students, and supporting parents in the process. Integrating character education into every single facet of my day has helped my students to be more empathetic, show more self control, and just all around be more successful! These skills are so important and are often neglected due to the many other commitments we have on a daily basis. If you're looking for ways to seamlessly integrate character education into YOUR classroom, school, or district, you've found the right store!
