I have a BA in Elementary Education, a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction, and a Doctoral in Educational Leadership. I have been in the Education profession for thirty years. I have taught first, second, fourth and the middle school grades. I have been a high school librarian and an Assistant Principal. I also worked as an Adult Educator and Act Instructor at the University. I have tutored in all of these areas for the past 10 years. My favorite subjects to teach are reading and language arts. I am a certified Reading Specialist and certified in ESOL. My philosophy is that all students can learn. My dissertation research was working with Behavioral students who learn with active learning strategies to help them be successful in reading and math with the use of technology. I believe in active learning and hands-on strategies. I will be happy to help you become successful in the classroom and ready to share my gift of teaching with you. I am patient and have a lot of tools and wisdom to help you be the best you can be.
