I have spent more than 30 years as an educator. I spent twelve years in the classroom teaching a variety of grades from 1st to 4th. Then for 16 years, I was a Curriculum Facilitator in an elementary school where I helped teachers meet the needs of all their students. Currently, I have transitioned back to working with students as a Reading Intervention Specialist. This job allows me to work with students daily, and I still work with teachers to improve reading instruction in my school. I get the privilege of watching great teaching every day. I help teachers problem solve and develop interventions for struggling students as well as enrichment for gifted students.
At home, my husband and I have five wonderful children. While our life is never quiet, it is truly an adventure. I love traveling and really enjoy planning vacations and local camping trips for my family. I enjoy creating teaching resources because it lets me be creative and I can make a difference for students in my school and beyond. I also enjoy sharing tips and tricks with other teachers through my blog. It gives me a chance to connect with other teachers. What can be better than being a teacher who gets the chance to support other teachers!
