About+me

====I am Nina Halbrooks from Hartselle, AL. I attended The University of Alabama and graduated with a Mathematics Degree in May 2012 and then straight into UA's Graduate School to earn a master's degree in Special Education, Collaborative 6-12. I plan to graduate May 2014. I am currently teaching at Sipsey Valley Middle School in Buhl, AL while I am a full time grad student, cheerleading coach and softball coach year around. This August will be second year of teaching and I am even more excited than my first year! I enjoy going outside, playing softball, and being creative with arts and crafts. I have a boyfriend, Trey and a tuxedo cat named Tucker.====

====After reading //Visible Learning, A////Synthesis of Over 800 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement// by John Hattie, there are many ideas that I would liketo share with other teachers, new and old. In this book there are several misconceptions that teachers dwell on everyday that should not be an issue as teachers. There are also many great ideas of how teachers should think and guide their instruction to be more proficient in the classroom in order to demonstrate and be successful in student achievement. That's the main reason we are teachers, right? Let's jump into great information to become more effective teachers and learners!====
