Since July 10, 2006
I'm a teacher at Morris K. Udall STEAM School in downtown Phoenix. I "currently" teach 6th grade Language Arts, mostly to English Language Learners, but I seem to get different teaching assignments often. (I hold certification in Grades K-8 and 7-12, English, ESL, Gifted, History, and Middle School Math.) I am hoping to put my own writing out for the public and get my students to do the same.
