TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for 24 years all across the country. My experience includes 1st grade, 2nd, 3rd, 4th grade, and technology.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe that student driven curriculum is the key to an interactive learning environment. I build a lot of technology into the classroom through Smart Board, PowerPoint design, and soon wireless tablets. This year I've included Interactive Notebooks and Mentor Sentences into my lessons.
