About the store
I was a classroom teacher for 10 years and a founding staff member at High Tech High in San Diego. After having 2 children I went on to become a School Development Coach for New Tech Network and National Faculty with BIE, where I supported teachers across the country implementing Project Based Learning. After too much travel away from my kids I decided to start my own business. I am now the proud Founder and President of CraftED Curriculum and I support schools locally (in Cardiff by the Sea) with PBL implementation.
