The study of the books in this course will allow students to discover new ideas while being more empathetic and accepting of others.

I have over 30 years of experience in language arts education. While working as a public school educator, I served as a classroom teacher, instructional specialist and instructional coach. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and I embrace the opportunity to continue influencing readers and writers. While serving as an instructional specialist, I had the opportunity to successfully defend novel selections for use in the middle school setting. I also participated in Outschool’s Educator Panel Discussion: Banned Books and Best Practices for Teaching Literature.
