Professional Accomplishments:

In my English Language Institutes I attempt to give teachers a solid foundation for teaching their classes. We explore the test in-depth, and whenever possible we learn from each other through the sharing of best practices
In EVT sessions we concentrate on how best to establish a vertically articulated curriculum. We explore how best to fit the progressive pieces of pre-AP together; discuss at length level-appropriate materials and activities; and work hard to establish a comfortable team mentality.
