Prior to my current position, I taught fifth grade, and five/six split classes. Every school I have taught has been a Title One school, on whole-school free lunch, and in program improvement (the last school I was at exited program improvement status).

For examples of my work, the links section at the right will take you to my current class website/blog, and the previous blogs and website I used for my classes.

My professional and community experience prior to becoming a teacher includes seven years as an Analyst at Wells Fargo Bank, in San Francisco, CA, and one year as president and 4 years on the Board of Directors at Friends of the Oakland Public Library, Oakland, CA.

I have used technology in my classroom since I began teaching, and it has been a critical part of my instruction in the last two years. The links section will take you to my current class website/blog, and the previous website I used for my class. All of my use of technology is based in two goals: the activities are directly related to core instruction in my classroom; and the activities give students an opportunity to authentically demonstrate their mastery of what was taught. Examples can be found here, or by clicking on the Examples category in the right sidebar.
