Inspiring Better Writing with Low-Prep, No-Stress, Interactive Writing Resources

About the Store

If you struggle to get your 3rd through 8th grade students excited about grammar and writing, I am here to help! It's time to say goodbye to grammatically incorrect sentences and dry, formulaic writing pieces, and instead say hello to low-prep, no-stress writing activities and resources that even the most reluctant of writers will love. As a published romance author, elementary school teacher, and teacher consultant with the National Writing Project, my research-based, teacher-tested, student-approved writing resources are built upon creativity, peer communication and collaboration, and critical thinking/reflection. In my 20+ years in the classroom, I have taught nearly every grade from 1st through 8th and have served on nearly every committee there is: AVID team, Equity team, VAPA team, ELA Curriculum Design team, School Site Council, and have most recently served as an induction coach for new teachers. I bring all my experience as a teacher and writer to each of my resources in order to provide you with easy to use, engaging activities that actually work!

About the Store

Experience

As a published romance author, elementary school teacher, and teacher consultant with the National Writing Project, my research-based, teacher-tested, student-approved writing resources are built upon creativity, peer communication and collaboration, and critical thinking/reflection. In my 20+ years in the classroom, I have taught nearly every grade from 1st through 8th and have served on nearly every committee there is: AVID team, Equity team, VAPA team, ELA Curriculum Design team, School Site Council, and have most recently served as an induction coach for new teachers. I bring all my experience as a teacher and writer to each of my resources in order to provide you with easy to use, engaging activities that actually work!

Teaching style

I am a holistic teacher through and through. I believe in a writing-centric classroom and develop thematic units that are built on mentor texts and incorporate multiple subject areas. I love to create hands-on, interactive lessons where the focus is on creativity, collaboration, and student discovery.

Honors and awards

I was awarded a $20,000 IFT Grant from the California Teachers Association to create a Writers Lab for our school site.

Education

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies, a Master's degree in Holistic Education, and Multiple Subject teaching credential from California State University, San Bernardino. I joined my local chapter of the National Writing Project in 2012 and provide PD about the following topics: Narrative Writing, Grammar Development, Vocabulary Development, Revision Strategies, Hacking Literacy to Cultivate Creativity, and Small Group Writing Instruction.
