Summary

Began my teaching as a 5th grade homeroom teacher, focusing on math and science. I had a one year stint as a 6th grade homeroom teacher, teaching both math and ELA due to district realignment. I then returned to being a 5th grade homeroom teacher for the next few years. After 2018, I moved into a math support role, focusing on delivering grade level appropriate instruction for grades 4th through 6th, collaborating with teachers whom I pushed in and supported as well as pulled students from their classrooms, as well as cooperatively planning with groups of teacher in addition to creating materials for use in their classrooms.
