"Education by any means necessary!" Whatever it takes to educate my students I am willing to do. Money is no object. If I have to spend my own money to make learning easier for my students, I think of it as an investment.

My Roles and Responsibilities
I am a sixth-grade English/Social Science core teacher. I have an average of 35 students in both of my cores. I also teach a Language Arts Enrichment class that has 38 students. All the students in my classes are reading at the 35 percentile level. My teaching pedagogy is project based.
