- Here is your chance to wax on about yourself, your wonderful class, and more. What makes you tick?
- I am a creative, passionate teacher in need of a "wonderful class" to call my own. I have been an assistant, per-diem sub, and a long-term sub for the past 3 years. My dream job is a 6th grade language arts position in a progressive district. I also love teaching upper elementary grades, and I have no problem with 7th or 8th grade. There's just something about sixth graders that I really dig! I love getting kids turned on to reading great books, and helping them stretch themselves as writers. I've been in schools with workshop and without. Honestly, I feel that a combination method works really well, especially in middle school grades.
Middle school teaching is a job that I find both challenging and rewarding. I get my kicks by turning reluctant English students into enthusiastic readers & passionate writers. The perfect classroom is out there waiting for me!
