Certified in Social Studies and Special Education

My teaching philosophy is simple. Kids should have fun while learning. I have very high expectations of all students, and I believe firmly that every child can reach beyond their goals. In addition to learning about Social Studies, my goal is to help broaden each student's overall educational skills. This includes a deep understanding of research, writing, speaking, listening, and organization. In other words, these are the skills students will rely on for future success. I believe in a collaborative approach. Each student's needs are different and require special attention. Working closely with each student's family is a vital component of student success.
