This year will be an exciting co-creative experience. You'll read a myriad of genres,  write in a multitude of ways for various purposes, learn vital communication skills (both verbal and non-verbal) and acquire positive thinking techniques which will aid in lifelong resilience. These skills will organically build the middle school "you," you were meant to be. I'm here to guide you. 

I'm a facilitator, a mentor and your academic and social coach. It's my third year in Scarsdale Middle School, but I've been teaching English for quite some time. For many years, I taught English and Social Studies in Chappaqua School District at Bell Middle School. Over the course of my teaching career, which began in Long Island, I've taught kindergarten, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade in middle school and sixth grade in middle school while closely collaborating with grade 7 and 8 teachers as well. I've also tutored kids all the way through 11th grade. I know where you've been as a learner and I know where you're headed. I'm thrilled to be part of your journey. Over time, I'll tell you about my school life, my home life and I'll learn about yours as well. YOU are my focus.
