Hi! I am one of the few high school teachers in this program. I teach 9th grade English and 10th grade Civics and Economics. We just finished EOC testing and it went very well, so I am excited to wrap up the end of the year. This is a busy summer for me. As soon as this semester is over, my family will be arriving for my wedding! I am very excited to have them all here from many different parts of the country. I am also very excited to marry my wonderful fiancé!
Reading has always been a strength and love of mine. I have been reading for fun for as long as I can remember. I would rather read then watch a movie or a television show. Because reading has always come naturally to me, I was baffled when I first encountered struggling readers as a teacher. My brother had been a struggling reader in school, and in my mind I always thought he was just stupid. Now I realize that this is not the case. As I encountered many struggling readers at the middle and high school level, I became frustrated with my inability to help them. That is why I decided to enroll in this program and learn more about reading and teaching reading.
