Ever wanted to help struggling learners, but ended up feeling overwhelmed by how much intervention and support each student needed? 

Do you find yourself constantly feeling the struggle between what your students need and your personal or your family's needs?

                         Guess what... YOU ARE NOT ALONE! 

I have walked in your shoes juggling to balance the needs of my students and family. Now, I am passionately working to help educators find a healthy harmony between highly effective and engaging teaching and life outside of school.

It IS possible to create an engaging classroom that challenges and supports ALL learners. I absolutely love differentiation and helping struggling students experience success. I know the feeling of pure joy, watching a spark of excitement ignite in a struggling or disengaged learner. This feeling is the reason that many of us get up every day and keep teaching. 

Being a good teacher is hard work. And if you are aspiring to be "that teacher"- the one parents AND students hope they get each year, the work is downright difficult. Numerous studies repeatedly show the single most important factor that determines the quality of education a child receives is dependent on the quality of his/her teacher. 

Great teaching requires us to have...

• A broad knowledge of subject matter, standards and curriculum.
• Enthusiasm and love of learning and growing in your profession.
• A positive and caring attitude toward ALL students. 
• Collaboration with peers and parents and effective interpersonal skills.
• Knowledge of effective, culturally relevant discipline and classroom management strategies.
• A toolkit of instructional strategies that keep student minds engaged throughout instruction.
•  A thorough understanding of data, progress monitoring and assessments.
• A desire to make a difference in the lives of young people.                                

 
 This website is a resource for all who are looking for strategies and tools to help learners grow. I realize the pressures of trying to meet the needs of our students can feel quite overwhelming. The resources available on this website are beneficial for students, parents and fellow educators. My hope is that you find some inspiration and tools on this website that help to make your work more efficient and meaningful!
