I have over twenty years of experience teaching rhetoric writing, reading, language arts, and critical thinking skills. I am familiar with the material, and have the experience to foster meaningful learning. I have taught English and Language Arts for many years at the high school level. My experience includes teaching history as well as social studies, as these topics often go hand in hand with literature, writing, and humanities. I have a degree in English Teaching, and I enjoy teaching students how to explore historical events through written material. As an English teacher, I have taught students to read and critically analyze differentiating opinions about fictional works and non-fictional topics and arrive at a substantiated belief. In addition, I have taught in a team taught, multidisciplinary Language Arts/History class at the secondary school level.

Edgar Allan Poe's works portray graphic and sensitive topics such as death and murder. He struggled with substance abuse and depression. Those topics will be discussed with a high degree of sensitivity with respect to the writer, as well as the individuals taking the course. I will facilitate productive and diplomatic discussion regarding these topics.
