I have sixteen years of certified teaching in grades first through fifth grade.  In those years I have received an abundance of required professional development for teaching whole-class, guided, and one-on-one instruction in English language arts.  Also, I have administered the state assessment for two different states on seven different occasions which makes me extremely knowledgeable of the curriculum and proficiency expectations for grades third through fifth.

Following that, students are also asked to use the same graphic organizer that was modeled in class to practice the comprehension skill of the day.
