About My Teaching Style
My 20-plus years of classroom experience has taught me that children learn best through real-life, hands-on experiences, preferably in a problem-based situation where the teacher is the facilitator. Active learning sparks curiosity and creativity, and my goal is to help you "light a fire" within your learners. My goal is always to help students realize their potentials and that learning is actually a life-long endeavor.
About My Own Educational History
Check out that blast from the past! That is me during my undergrad years at Texas Tech University where I majored in Elementary Education and specialized in Art. I continued on to earn a Masters in Education (MAELT) from Regis University. I am also Gifted-Talented certified, a Colorado Geographic Alliance Teacher Consultant, and I am highly qualified in the area of math.
Additional biographical information
Outside of blogging and creating teaching resources, I love playing tennis and golf and am lucky to live where I can do that year round. Whenever we travel, I'm constantly thinking about how I can bring that experience back to the classroom for students. Once a teacher... ;)
