8th Grade U.S. History

Teacher Bio:

I've been teaching here since 1998 and am still loving my work and interactions with all the students I'm in contact with. Middle schoolers are great - they challenge me in ways that keep me young and I love being a part in helping them develop into the people they are already becoming - helping perfect their amazingness and shed off traits that don't benefit them. At least that's what I hope to do.

Every day I am appreciative of the opportunity to be here, teaching in this school and working with your kids. Part of my commitment as an educator is to provide a differentiated education to students of all abilities and readiness, as well as to cater to their interests and passions in life.

As a history teacher I feel it's important to help students embrace the past, understand the present, and prepare ourselves to be part of the future. To do so, I will work with students to strengthen their literacy and critical thinking abilities, researching and reading skills, abilities to communicate with members of a group, and sift through the gamut of information presented to them in all media forms.
