Experience
Retired public school elementary teacher. Taught grade 3 for 13 years; grade 2 for 4 years; first grade reading for one year, 5th grade for one year. Tutored ESL students for one year. Taught Everyday Math and Math In Focus. Well versed in Common Core as well as taking advantage of the teachable moment. Received training in Mindfulness from "Mindfulness in Schools"; trained in Level 2 of Responsive Classroom, attended numerous guided reading (Nancy Boyles/Fountas and Pinnell) workshops and taught Lucy Calkin's reading and writing curriculum. Technology was heavily embedded in my teaching practices. Students used iPads and accessed IXL, Lexia, Raz-Kidz, and Tech Steps. I've set student goals based on running records and I-Ready testing and assessments. All in the Hamden, CT area.
