I have taught all elementary grades in bilingual and EL programs for over 25 years. I have worked in Wisconsin, California, New York, Virginia, Connecticut and North Carolina. I have had the privilege to work with wonderful children from all over the world and teachers who want to see those children succeed!
I want to take grade level work and support all learners as they learn and show their understanding in different ways.
