An Up-Tempo Teacher for a Fast Break Classroom

Copyright 2013. MRCROSS.NET. All rights reserved.

I am currently in charge of teaching 6th grade social studies to all of the 6th grade students at Triton Central Middle School. I am very focused and dedicated to helping students master all of the Indiana state  standards for 6th grade.

I was in charge of teaching science to the entire Centerville 6th grade general education population. I taught a very challenging curriculum that was focused on students mastering all of the Indiana state science standards.

BASIC INFORMATION

I am the elementary physical education teacher teacher at Hagerstown Elementary School located in Hagerstown, Indiana. I have been teaching since 2010 and I am committed to providing my students with the most dynamic and effective classroom instruction possible. I consider myself an up-tempo teacher that runs a fast break classroom. No moment is wasted in my classroom and both the students and myself are productive every second of the class period. My students will tell you I am very funny, energetic, demanding, and LOUD!  I am very passionate about what I teach and who I teach. You can see more information below about the specific types of classes/programs that I am involved with. By clicking here, you can download a copy of my personal autobiography. Oh yeah, I am also the BIGGEST NOTRE DAME FAN EVER! GO IRISH!!!!
