I am a 7th grade English teacher at Mike O'Callaghan Middle School, currently finishing my first year of licensed teaching. I have been in the school district going on 7 years, taking on roles of IA, long term sub, and licensed teacher. My experience has allowed to become familiar with many ways to incorporate different teaching strategies, as I have had the honor to work along side teachers of all disciplines, and incorporate what I have learned into my own practice. Although I am a new teacher, I feel that I can offer a unique perspective into how to manage the difficulties that can weigh down educators everyday as I have had to quickly learn ways to overcome them in a short amount of time myself. For this reason, I am excited to have the opportunity to pass forward the lessons and assistance I have received in hopes that they resonate with others, even if it is only one other person in the room.
