ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Hi everyone! I've started this account to share resources and strategies I've used in my classroom for over ten years as an ESL teacher in Durham, North Carolina. My goal is to make it easier to scaffold and differentiate content, and make learning accessible and meaningful for all the students in your classroom. To do so, I'll be sharing some tried-and-true resources I've created over the years. Best practices for English learners are best practices for all learners, and I hope you'll find something here to use on your journey!
