I teach wonderful, diverse group of 120 young adolescents at a year-round S.T.E.M. (Science Technology Engineering & Math) public middle school. As a sixth grade language arts teacher, my curriculum includes preparing them for state mandated Standardized Reading Tests, as well as instilling a love for reading! I have a Masters Degree in Teaching. I am a twice-National Board Certified Teacher and a 2013 Kenan Fellow. I am very passionate about teaching; I blog about education at teachingspeaksvolumes.com and professionally tweet @TeachingSpeaks.
