I am qualified to teach this class for several reasons. Beyond writing being my passion and hobby, I am a licensed teacher, with gifted/ talented endorsement for grades K-12. I also hold a masters in school administration. I have taught writing in all grades K-8 for over twenty-five years. I won the 1997 Young Writers Award for my county. I have been the highest performing teacher in grade 6 ELA. I have several published and successful writing classes on Outschool.
