Summary
Committed teacher with 11+ years of experience dedicated to using proven best practices in the classroom. It is a teacher's responsibility to develop relationships of trust with her students. When students feel safe and happy, they are better able to learn. I believe in teaching explicit skills in a systematic sequence so students can best master content. These strategies work for all students, but specifically make an impact on those students who are below benchmark. I strive to take each student as far as they can go academically.
