TEACHING EXPERIENCE

My teaching experience primarily consists of grade 8-12 math and grade 7-11 ELA. Not all of it at the same time! I have also taught various electives and ELL classes at the middle and high school level.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to teach with a variety of methods. I lecture and give exams but also like to incorporate authentic activities, projects, and other less traditional activities in my classroom. I think variety and formative assessment provide the best environment for students.
