A Little Bit About Me…
• I am in my 14th year of teaching. (5th at PV)
• I have taught grade levels ranging from 5th – 12th grades within the past 14 years.
• So far, this has been a great and positive start to the new year
My Family…
• My husband, Bill, teaches Science at PVHS. He is also in charge of the Athlete Committed Program. He coaches two sports this year as well.
• Our two sons graduated from PVHS (2005 & 2008)
• We are currently hosting a Chinese student at PVHS, so we are PV parents once again!
My Solution for Empty Nesting…
On the Academic Front…
• We are transitioning to the California Common Core State Standards…
• The new standards provide a way of examining and enriching the learning environment and the current curriculum to best help our students be both college and career ready upon graduation from PVHS.
• I have placed a link on the website home page that briefly explains the rationale for the ccss implementation.
• It is worth the watch if you have a few minutes…
