Fun Facts

I love to listen to audiobooks, specifically by authors like Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, Colleen Hoover or Lucinda Berry.

About Me

My name is Mikandrea Askew, and I am a passionate and dedicated English teacher. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, focusing on Literacy Studies, achieving a GPA of 3.9. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies.

I am certified to teach English Language Arts and Reading for grades 4-12 and am ESL certified. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience coaching and mentoring new teachers.

Experience

I have 7 years of experience in instruction, where I've had the pleasure of supporting students to reach growth in reading and writing through engaging data-driven instruction. In my role, I have developed a strength in utilizing data to identify my student's strengths and weaknesses and providing data-driven whole-group and small-group instruction.

Approach

I think my classroom success comes from being able to not only provide aligned instruction daily but also being able to develop positive relationships with my students. I truly believe that positive relationships make all the difference in students' overall academic and personal growth.
