I have been in education since 2000, as a classroom teacher and instructional coach. Now I am a curriculum developer and create high-quality social studies curriculum for busy teachers. My most recent teaching assignment was middle grades social studies, and I love teaching secondary social studies! While in the classroom, I wanted to help my students be successful, and I wanted them to look forward to class each day. I developed lessons and units that my students loved. My activities were student-centered and kept my students engaged. Many days my students commented they did not want class to end!
During my time as an instructional coach, though, I found that I loved helping teachers just as much as teaching students. At the end of the 2021 school year, I decided it was time to follow my true passion: empowering teachers to be the best they can be. I created this site because teaching is NOT easy, and I wanted to take some of the stressors off of you, so you can enjoy your students and do what you love to do: Teach! I am excited to connect with you and look forward to working with you to help you maintain your sanity and your students succeed!
I have taught middle grades ELA, social studies, & science; grades K-5 as a classroom, EIP, Title 1, & gifted teacher; and I was a K-5 instructional coach. I have my EdS in instruction, curriculum, and assessment, and I hold certifications in gifted education, on-line teaching, and administrative leadership.
I am looking forward to working collaboratively with you!
