I have taught English Language Arts in the Baraboo School District for 27 years, encompassing both middle and high school levels. Because I have a passion for reading, I want to foster a love for literature in my students as well. I focus on pairing each student with the perfect book to ignite their interest and engagement. Additionally, I explore innovative and diverse methods for students to demonstrate their understanding and appreciation of the literature they encounter. I am committed to continuous learning and always seeking new ways to connect with my students through literature. Ultimately, my goal is to create an environment where students can develop their own love for reading and critical thinking skills.
