Hello. This is my story.

As a certified ESE and elementary school teacher, I am passionate about working one on one with students to target their individual needs. I have designed and implemented individual reading and math interventions with weekly progress monitoring for special education and general education students in grades K-5. I especially love teaching reading and math. Within reading, I focus on phonics (decoding), fluency, vocabulary and reading comprehension, based on the needs of the child. I use rich literature and interesting nonfiction text to foster a love for reading! In math, I always start teaching a new skill in a concrete way by using manipulatives or models. As the child makes progress towards mastery I shift to more abstract representations so students become fluent with the skill. I also teach problem solving skills and strategies to attack complex word problems which most children struggle with.

Currently, I am a 4th grade teacher and loving it! I have an inclusion classroom so I work with both general and special education students. It is my goal to differentiate and level my instruction to meet my students needs. Check out my resume for additional credentials. I look forward to speaking with you and developing a plan for your child!
