Hi!
I’m an early career English teacher from north Minneapolis with a background in education spanning about 6 years. I’ve worked in various roles in education from a literacy-based after school programs with the YMCA, to working as a paraprofessional in a charter school, to where I currently am now, which is a KS3 coordinator for English in a London school.
Work I’ve done:
I’ve written for a local newspaper and Fordham about teacher preparation programs, Project Forever Free on a piece titled “Literacy: The Forgotten Social Justice Issue”,
More recently, I’ve written for citizen.education and am an opinion writer with Education Week (see here and here ). I also have appeared on a few panels and podcasts about improving reading instruction.
What you’ll read on my blog:
Reflections on the classroom, and various instructional practices using a critical and culturally sustaining pedagogy informed by cognitive science , evidence-based practices, and my own lived experience. I was recently called a “mimetic” thinker because I read everyone, regardless of political association, and take what knowledge I can. You’ll see that reflection is fundamental to my practice.
