The Lost Teacher

I've taught at a Texas public elementary school as a teacher of self-contained inclusion classes which included E.S.L., G.T., and Special Education students. I have also taught high school English in Japan and adult education. My current work is on student retention strategies in adult education.

In primary education, I enjoy teaching subjects based on the workshop model (after the Teacher's College Reading & Writing Workshop). In primary education, my favorite subject to teach is Language Arts, and my favorite aspect of teaching anything is Accountable Talk. I believe that asking the right questions and engaging students in discussion nurtures them into critical thinkers. In secondary or higher education, I enjoy teaching English as a Second Language and Technology Education. I started my Teachers Pay Teachers online store when I took a break from full-time teaching to focus on my post-graduate degree. Being a part of the TPT community has been a rewarding experience, and I look forward to creating more teaching and learning resources that will help you in your classroom!

Every personal positive note that I receive from a student, parent, or educator. =)

In my free time, I make technology-related materials, study languages, and create teaching materials which are available on TeachersPayTeachers. I enjoy following educators on social media and reading about educational technology trends.
