About me:
I am a retired public middle school teacher. I began teaching fall of 1995, in my many years of teaching I have taught in many schools with varying populations. I love working with this quirky, awkward, silly and challenging age group. I believe middle school is a time for tremendous growth in a child, mentally, socially and physically. Middle school students need to have fun while learning, so I incorporate student centered activities, flexible seating, and restorative practices. In my class my students received exciting, rigorous, challenging and engaging lessons which cause them to think like engineers.
