Welcome to Books, Teaching, & More.
After 31 years in public education, I decided to retire from full-time teaching and apply my passion for teaching and literacy in new directions.
I spent 7 years teaching English in grades 6-8 and then 24 years teaching English in grades 9-12. I have taught AP English, dual credit English, and AP Capstone courses during my career. Over the course of my career, I wrote curriculum and chaired my department.
One of the keys to staying current over three decades in the classroom has been my desire to be a lifelong learner. I continue to read professional works, attend conferences, collaborate, and learn new skills.
I hope you find my posts about education thought-provoking, affirming, and/or inspiring. Look for information about strategies, book reviews, and instructional materials. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us. You can find me on X, Instagram, and TikTok as MizVTigers.
