Welcome to my Professional Portfolio.

This portfolio is designed to provide the viewer with an overview of my professional competencies and capabilities as well as describe my teaching philosophies. You will find evidences of these capabilities in the Professional Categories section by way of lesson plans, rubrics, formal observations and letters of recommendation.  There are also pages in this portfolio showing several pictures of me taken during my student teaching and a short movie taken during an enthusiastic cooperative learning lesson. 

You can also gain a bit of insight into me personally by checking out my Inspirational Quotes page (educationally inspirational), as well as the About Me and Resume pages. 

About Me        

Here you can learn about me as a person and find out why I decided to pursue teaching as a career. 

(This picture was taken by one of my students.  They were coached on picture-taking and are responsible for taking pictures for the Wings Certificates that students receive in school for doing good deeds or helping in the Rainforest Cafe. I helped them with technical training on the camera, and how to print and resize pictures in MS Word.)

Teaching Philosophies

Here you can learn about my personal teaching philosophies that include hands-on learning, differentiated instruction, technology integration, developing performance tasks to appeal to multiple intelligences and otherwise creating a sense of discovery and joy of learning.
