I have been teaching middle and high school English for 10 years. I have also taught Study Skills, Theatre Arts, and ESOL. I started the Freshman Focus course at my brick-and-mortar school. I created the scope, sequence, and curriculum for the full school year. I own an online micro-school for which I create the majority of the curriculum and professional development. I am the leader of an online Navigators USA troop where we complete badges from all of the content areas.
