Teaching High School English (AP, Pre-AP, Regular Ed, and EL) since 2012; 3 years as a writing tutor at a college writing center
I love using reading & writing workshop/apprenticeship model, AVID strategies, and skills-based teaching/grading. I strongly believe in choice, voice, movement, and reflection.
