About
Schmella...
Welcome to ELA! I am very excited to inspire young adults to reach their utmost potential. This will be a wonderful school year.
My Education and Professional Background
I am from New Mexico where I attended and graduated cum laude from the University of New Mexico (Go LOBOS!) with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. Upon graduation, I moved to Arizona and immediately began my teaching career in the Tempe School District. For the past ten years, I've taught 6-8 ELA while differentiating curriculum to meet all students' needs from intervention to Honors. I also taught the AVID elective for four years and coached softball for eight years. I will be returning to the classroom myself (hopefully) next year to begin graduate classes to obtain my Masters in Secondary Education.
My Educational Philosophy
My educational philosophy is simple: I want to produce productive members of society. I strive to inspire students to think outside the box and not to "conform to the norm". I expect nothing short of excellence - every class, every day.
