Writing Interview Questions

Person/Teacher I currently 1st grade at Croninger Elementary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Croninger is a communications magnet school. I have three years experience with teaching third grade. The rest have been teaching first grade with a total of 19 years. I attended IPFW for my undergrad and graduate degrees at IPFW. I have also completed several continuing education classes here, as well. I came to be at Appleseed Writing Project because I was invited to apply by Terry Springer, also a teacher in the district where I teach. My biggest struggle and concern about teaching writing is with the issue of time management. So much to do, so little time.

Writer I am inspired to write by the personal connections I make. I view writing as a professional in education as a discipline that needs to be further investigated and used consistently. I use writing in my personal life to write letters to family and friends. Letter writing is my favorite genre to write in. I first considered myself as a writer when I attended the AWP summer institute. I enjoy reading Christian fiction.
