Teacher, Grand Prairie Elementary

As a K-5 Reading Specialist and as a 2nd, 5th, and 6th grade classroom teacher my passion has always been about understanding and educating the whole child. Reading Recovery afforded me the opportunities to learn more about how and when to use language to help accelerate students' achievements. I am excited to utilize and learn more about UDL as we work to address the variability of all learners.
