I believe in a student-centered approach with inquiry, reading comprehension strategies, vocabulary development and clear standards based objectives. I believe in utilizing culturally responsive texts and helping students to realize their full potential in literacy and writing ability.
I’m a certified high school English Language Arts and Literature teacher with 20 years of experience in New York’s public schools.
I worked with students reading below grade level in a 10th grade ELA class. I modeled reading with Read Alouds, Think Alouds, and Talk Alouds and taught specific lessons on active reading strategies, questioning, inferring, and activating schema. I taught students how to recognize and analyze four literary elements in narratives. We read and analyzed several short stories using graphic organizers and engaging drama in education strategies.
