I am currently in my 10th year of teaching middle school. I have primarily taught English and Literature, but I also spent one year teaching junior high math. I have helped to design a novel-based reading curriculum for middle school, and am working on a service-learning approach to my teaching. I teach 5th grade Reading, 6th-8th grade English, 8th grade Literature, 7th and 8th grade Art, 5th grade Music, 8th grade Computers and PE, and Acting.
I strive to come up with interesting, hands-on lessons for my students that are rich in content, yet fun and exciting. I promote service-learning in my classroom- the idea of connecting curricular goals to student-led service projects. Most importantly, I provide lessons that are built on real-life experiences and designed to encourage critical thinking skills.
None- yet.
I graduated from Concordia University Wisconsin with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, and minors in English and Music. My goal is to begin working on a Master's in Administration within the next year.
