Easy Teaching Tools

Playing with tigers in Thailand
My name is Kristen and I’ve enjoyed teaching kindergarten, first grade, a 1/2 combo, and second grade.  I've taught at both a low and high-performing Title I schools as well as a few fancy schools in California and O'ahu, Hawaii. I've earned my Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis in reading in addition to my Reading Specialist Certificate.  When I am not teaching my scholars or other educators at Professional Development classes, I  enjoy creating materials to share with my colleagues, organizing family literacy events, and giving workshops on ways to make Literacy Workshop effective and engaging.  
Non-teaching related, I love being outdoors hiking, running, or surfing.  I love traveling and have been to many amazing tropical places around the world.  I started Easy Teaching Tools in 2007 after an abundant amount of positive feedback from my colleagues.  Before I knew of Teachers Pay Teachers, I would sell my resources on blog and mail out hard copies to teachers.    You can now find my products at Teachers Pay Teachers
