HELLO, welcome to my site!!  Here is a little information about me, I hope you enjoy!

I graduated from Bloomsburg University in 2000 with a degree in Elementary Education.  I enjoyed my student teaching experience in the Norristown School District where I taught both kindergarten and fifth grade students at Paul V. Fly Elementary School.  I then traveled to suburban/urban Maryland where I spent two years teaching fourth grade.  I enjoyed this time immensely and I feel as though I grew a great deal professionally in that time.  Then I moved closer to home, in fact I grew up in Royersford!!  I was extremely pleased and excited to be coming to teach at Royersford Elementary School.  I feel fortunate to be a part of the RES team and also part of the Royersford community. 

Philosophy of Teaching

    My philosophy of teaching is based upon three main principles: respect, consistency, and fun.  Firstly, mutual respect amongst all the members of a class or group is of the utmost importance.  Here at Royersford Elementary School (RES) it is expected that all students will be respectful of one another and all adults in the building.  While not taken for granted, respect amongst the students is almost assumed because of the Good Choice Team and the Stop and Think method of discipline.  The Stop and Think  program lays out rules and consequences (both negative and positive) quite clearly and is not negotiable here at RES.  I as a teacher must enforce these rules, consequences, and procedures.  It is also my job to enforce the rules and govern my classroom with the Golden Rule in mind.  I attempt to use this ideal as a basis for my teaching, discipline, and relationships in and out of the classroom!!
