My experience in education has been rather unique. I have taught in both mainstream and alternative schools for 20 plus years. I have worked with students of widely ranging abilities in numerous settings and configurations of teaching, including collaborative and inclusion classes. I have learned to be highly adaptive in the educational environment. For the 2018/19 school year, I am teaching English Lab and English II and at PTech on the Edison Campus.
