I teach 9th grade Literacy, 11th grade English, and 10th grade Honors English: my students have a broad range of abilities. I enjoy the challenge of differentiating instruction, of planning exciting lessons, of teaching skills students need for advanced literacy. My main interest is Literature, but Education is a field I remain up-to-date and knowledgeable about, and endeavor to explore through my own research and practice. My favorite aspect of teaching Literacy is developing custom-made reading and writing programs for the most struggling students. It is a reward in and of itself to hinder the crippling lack of self-confidence—especially for teenagers—that arises from illiteracy. On my free time, I love to read fiction and write both poetry and non-fiction.
