Welcome!

About this Blog:

I wanted to create this Online Teaching Portfolio as a way for potential employers to get a better view of my qualifications and skills.  Resumes are wonderful, but I feel that they fail to give a more in-depth picture of a person's true abilities.  Click on the pages on the right-hand side to see sample lesson plans, photos, learn more about me and much more!

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my Online Teaching Portfolio.  If you have any questions or would like a list of my references, feel free to email me at

My Teaching Philosophy:

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas.

For me, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students as I share my own passion for learning with them. These children are our future. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students not only to receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. I am such a person and will always strive to be the best educator that I can be.
