I am a passionate educator with over 11 years of varied experience. I have taught all levels of high school English, 8-12th grade reading classes, and after school reading for K-5. I specialize in differentiated instruction, literacy data analysis and coaching other teachers. I believe that very child deserves an equitable educational experience; conversely, this does not mean that every child deserves the same educational experience. Effective teachers must be able to assess the needs of diverse students and provide the appropriate supports that will allow that student access to the content. If a child receives support for his or her needs, then that child should be able to succeed in an inclusive environment. Furthermore, with the appropriate scaffolding, that child may be able to exceed expectations. Differentiating and scaffolding for a diverse learner, English Learner, or a lower level reader can take more time and effort, however, it is time well spent when that child masters a concept he or she previously found to be impossible.
