Summary
My experience includes working with children from Pre-Kindergarten to Fifth Grade Reading levels. I have spent over 30 years teaching second grade. I spent over a year teaching remotely. During my tenure, I have mentored teachers, monitored perspective teachers' field experiences, and supervised eight student teachers. Even though I retired from public education, I still have the passion to work with children to become lifelong learners. I love working with everyone in On Your Mark. As I have said before, I believe in this fantastic program.
