I have two teaching license: teaching 5-12 grade English Language arts/ communications, and teaching K-12 English as a second language. I have earned a Master’s degree in teaching English as a Second language. My focus for that degree was building initial literacy in newcomer SLIFE and EL students. I am a fifth year teacher at a high school. I also teach as an adjunct professor in the Education department at College of Saint Benedict. I support future educators in improving their skills for working with EL students.
Holistic language learning is the core of my teaching style, because it is well supported by research. My lessons often integrate WIDA ELD standards and language arts’ standards in order to hold high standards for all students, while including high quality supports, accommodations, and supplements to make materials accessible for all learners.
