Abby has taught English/Language Arts and Literature at Envision Education schools for the last nine years. She currently teaches tenth graders at Impact Academy in Hayward. She had the incredible opportunity to step back from the classroom a few years ago in order to support teachers around the country who were interested in implementing performance assessment into their classrooms. Upon her re-entry into the classroom three years ago, she has been focusing on strategic literacy instruction to help students build critical skills that will empower them to grapple with complex text inside and outside of school walls.
