Who I Am:
My name is Kristin Smith, and I have been teaching for twelve years. I currently teach 9th and 10th grade English. I am an innovative, dedicated educator with a commitment to helping all students succeed. I have a passion for teaching, and I could not imagine a career in any other field.
Outside of teaching, I am also a writer. I am a teacher consultant with the Eastern Michigan Writing Project . I have “won” National Novel Writing Month twice so far, and I might go for it again this year. I also write poetry in addition to fiction, and it is my dream to one day publish a novel or a collection of poems. I also enjoy spending time with my husband, our three children, and our two dogs.
