Hi, my name is Valerie. I am an educator with over 15 years of experience. I teach middle school English for a major school district in Los Angeles. Prior to teaching in Los Angeles, I lived in Japan. I ran an international school for almost eight years before moving to Honolulu to open a school. I've worked with children ages 3-17. My specialties are literacy and integrating children into mainstream classrooms. I am a sponge for statistics and follow national trends closely. I run a blog called "The Weary Educator," where I discuss current issues facing teachers and parents.
Thank you for stopping by! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask.
Valerie
