My passion is creating high quality, ready-to-use teaching resources. I believe our future depends on our children being able to think creatively and critically, so I incorporate higher level thinking skills into almost everything I create. Most of my experience is in gifted education grades 1-4. But I have also taught regular education to all elementary grade levels. I've taught workshops on writing and have had extensive experience teaching elementary science as well as technology.

I have also written a series of 6 creative and critical thinking books for Evan-Moor as well as several other books of teacher materials.

In addition, I am a published author of over 100 nonfiction books for children on a variety of subjects.
