Hometown:
Hanover, PA

Class Description:
Developmental Reading is a course designed to help students improve reading scores as evidenced by the state assessments. Only techniques proven to increase reading comprehension are included in the instruction.
Position:
Reading Specialist
Needs:
Because this class is considered an elective and not a core class, I will never receive any State or Federal funding to equip my room with technology. I need better access to better technology to accomplish the goals I have set for myself and my students.
My Philosophy:
I think it is very important to teach students in ways that they find interesting and meaningful. Technology and creative learning activities is the best way to accomplish this.
Personal Information:
About Me:
I have been married to my wonderful husband for a little over a year now and in January 2009 we are expecting to welcome our first child to the world. I enjoy reading and other leisure activities as well as playing with my huge labrador-rottweilerpuppy.
College and Degrees:
I earned an Associates Degree from Monroe Community College in Rochester, New York immediately after graduating from Webster Senior High School in Webster, New York. From there I went on to earn my Bachelors of Arts from York College of Pennsylvania in York, PA. I am currently pursuing two masters degrees, one in Reading from York College and one in Technology from Wilkes University.

Employment History:
Spring Grove Middle School BermudianSprings High School
Why Do I Teach?:
I am a teacher because I believe that every student can be successful if they have enough people telling them they can do it. I love seeing the spark in my students eyes when they finally reach the realization that they can do it.
