Certified 7-12 Language Arts with Supplemental License in Mild to Moderate Intervention

My responsibilities include planning and executing all lessons in the 7th and 8th grade language arts classroom. In addition, I will be working with yearbook and creative writing club. I have been selected as the lead teacher for the middle school and I am part of the building leadership team.

I have the pleasure of being the only middle school English teacher! I have some amazing students and I have students who have various struggles with behavior and ability. I work closely with our intervention specialist to ensure each student has the tools to succeed in class.

I had the unique pleasure and incredible challenge of taking over for a well-respected teacher who retired early. With only a few months to work my magic, I was able to help several students who were at risk of not graduating improve their performance. I had to redirect their lessons in order to differentiate and provide them with work they were able to complete. I spent many hours working adjusting assignments and tests. The work was tough and I often had to push them in order to get their work, but it was all worth the effort when I was able to watch them walk across the stage of the Schuster Center and get their diplomas!

I am a certified integrated language arts teacher who is subbing for three suburban districts. While my degree is in language arts, subbing is allowing me to explore my interests in other areas.
