Angela loves the interaction of the outdoor classroom with motivated, academically driven students in small groups.

Layered Curriculum® has provided a great organizational structure for Angela that motivates her to learn as a teacher and her students to excel in learning. She believes that when you find a great tool, you share it! Angela is able to assess students more effectively throughout each Layered Curriculum® unit and enjoys the active engagement of learning in the classroom! Angela has an open-door classroom philosophy knowing that showing a Layered Curriculum® unit and allowing other teachers to experience the dynamics of the Layered Curriculum® classroom will demonstrate that active learners not only take ownership of their learning, they enjoy the process along the way!

Angela has a Bachelors degree from Eastern Michigan University in K-8 Education in mathematics and science, and a Mastersin Teaching and Learning from Nova Southeastern University in Florida.
