Welcome to My Class

My Classroom Mission

In order to inspire lifelong learners, I will ensure that students approach the North Carolina standard course of study and the IB middle years program requirements through differentiated strategies that encourage autonomy.
 
About Me

I am a teacher of all trades.  My background is in Special Education - Learning Disabilities and Behavior Disorders, but I also have certification in Academically/Intellectually Gifted, Middle School Language Arts, High School English and Middle School Social Studies.  I have taught everything from Kindergarten literacy to AP Psychology in a variety of settings including public and private schools.
 
Originally from Owensboro, Kentucky, I moved to North Carolina in the summer of 1999.  I currently live in Mooresville with my husband Doug, step-son Traye, and daughter Cammie.  When I'm not teaching, I love reading, doing needlepoint, and traveling.
