I
am a student
I would describe myself as a lifelong
learner; I started my college experience with a passion for history. I have a B.S. in history, and then earned a
M.S. in literacy education from Alfred University. However, I believe that you never stop
learning; I am continually growing my content knowledge and teaching repertoire
by pursuing professional development and through my own exploration.
I
am a teacher
I have taught for the last three years
in two very diverse districts. Each
district had unique challenges and mastering those challenges has given me
confidence. I have taught junior level
English all three years and have had about 95% passing rate for my students on
the Regents exam, with 100% success my first year as a teacher. This past year I taught a course that focused
on Science Fiction and Fantasy literature, and I found that I loved the intense
focus on the genre. The AIS course I
taught gave me the opportunity to try different strategies with students.
