I have been teaching elementary students since 1995 in 1st and 4th grades. I have taught all subject areas, especially language arts and math. I want to encourage students to think for themselves and to work through their learning in a way that makes sense to them. Here is a Greek proverb to consider: All good things good to know are difficult to learn.
Whenever possible, I use highlighters, colored pencils, hands-on manipulatives, and other items to help students learn.

Writing is hard. For everyone. But it can be easier.

I allow students to discover answers by themselves by prompting them with questions.

Understanding the fundamentals of good writing is the most important tool to becoming a good writer; where merely diagnosing an issue and giving an answer for it leads to much more lazy writing in the future. That's what makes fundamental understanding so important, because it carries over into future assignments.
As a student, I earned a 3.87 in my major of English Arts, while both working as an employee for the school writing center and as a contributor for the school newspaper. I also did a lot of moonlighting outside of the writing center as a personal tutor for undergrads, h ... read more
