I look forward to an exciting 2018-2019 school year. I have been a teacher with the Miami-Dade County Public School system since March, 1992, and Lamar Louise Curry Middle School has been my home for the past twelve years.  I welcome 2018-2019 with high expectations for another successful school year.   I believe that with my drive and determination,  parental support and stamina, and student ambition and achievement, we can accomplish anything.

     I have a personal goal to guide learning, expectations, and outcomes for meeting the standards set forth by the school, the district, and the state.  To accomplish this, I have designed instructional lessons to meet the learning needs of students while applying a challenging curriculum and utilizing materials and technological resources available in collaboration with other teachers in the Language Arts department.  I plan engaging opportunities where students interact with ideas, materials, peers and teachers within each unit of study, as well as designing experiences where students take responsibility for their own learning ~ especially with the implementation of our new Collections textbook, Promethean Library, Discovery Education, NBC Learn, i-Ready, Edmodo, and Read Theory, in our efforts in meeting the goals of the new Florida Standards!
