Classroom management is my greatest interest - from the layout of the classroom, to effective instructional strategies, to relationship building to learn the story behind the face to being prepared to successfully address difficult behaviors. Preparing future teachers with their why, self-awareness of strengths and areas to grow and offering support during transition to professional educators is also my passion.
