Experience Summary
I am currently the Literacy Coach at Starms Discovery Learning Center, where I conduct literacy workshops for the staff members. I also collaborate with the administrative team to develop the school wide literacy curriculum. In order to enhance my expertise, I have enrolled in Capella University’s Adult Education PhD Program. I am now taking courses in Teaching Adult Learning and Assessments. I also have experience teaching both Reading and Writing in a a middle school setting.
Teaching Style
While working as an MTEC intern, I was trained in Direct Instruction and Power Writing. I later conducted several workshops for Carson Academy’s staff members as well. I also coordinated the Monthly Writing Challenges for the middle school department.
I am a member of UW Milwaukee’s - Milwaukee Area Academic Alliance in English. In 2005, I co-planned The Teaching Writing Across Disciplines Showcase. I then invited several of Carson Academy’s students to participate in the program. The students’ presentations were based on Milwaukee Public School’s Learning Targets in Reading, Science, and English.
