I hold a Masters Degree in Education (M.Ed.) I have been working as a classroom educator for over 19 years.  Students who enter my classroom (or who use my methods) are met with high expectations and rigorous, direct instruction tailored to their specific needs. While in the classroom, the percentage of students demonstrating adequate yearly progress on their state testing increased from 29% to 39% for three years running. Considering that most bottom quartile performers "hold their level," during high-stakes testing, this shows that my methods achieved positive results.

I am State of Florida certified in Mathematics - grade 6 -12 , and Exceptional Student Education (ESE) - grade K-12. Each year, I participate in continuing education on a variety of educational topics to better differentiate my instruction style to meet the learning style of my students.
