As an educator, I believe children are our future and it is our responsibility to not only provide the most extensive academic instruction, but also help instill in each child a sense of moral and ethical understanding. I have been a teacher for over 28 years, and during this time have taught all grade levels and populations, including children with learning disabilities and or special needs. I have a Masters degree in Educational Administration, and two Bachelors degrees in Special Education and Elementary Education. As an avid reader, providing beginning reading instruction is my most passionate subject to teach, and in the process hopefully provide a lifelong love of reading.
