I have taught English Language Arts for the past 27 years in the public school system in grades 6-9. I love teaching the joy of reading and writing with my students, and they seem to enjoy our time together as well. I have taught the above literature during most of those 27 years, so I am mindful of keeping out any of my own personal biases by focusing on student thought and debate that is respectful and text-based. I have also taken classes in teaching about the Holocaust as well as visiting both the Florida Holocaust museum as well as the National Holocaust museum. I have also personally studied the Civil Rights era to learn more about human rights issues as well as issues related to the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I believe in an inclusive environment, which is why I choose to teach on Outschool. I'm also a writer and blogger with several published books and a variety of articles on my blog, Teach2Write for teachers.

I will be putting all assignments including homework inside Google Classroom. This makes it easier for me to share files and collect assignments.
