Teaching is a learning.  

​

I am forever grateful to the many mentors and peers who have inspired me and supported me in my journey of learning.  They have helped make me who I am as a teacher today.

I have my own writers notebook because of Ralph! He has been one of my 'go to' guys ever since I started teaching. He is a true inspiration and has helped me help my students so much - especially my boys!
