We've moved a gazillion times, so I've always had to hit the ground running. In Germany, my students had lived in the countries we were studying in Social Studies. I hadn't even traveled through most of them. In Belgium, my students were from different NATO nations, and most were multilingual. My North Carolina students lived in the housing projects, and my Illinois students were adults seeking their GED. In New Mexico, I fell in love with the Navajo culture through my Native American students and their families. Here in Texas, I've mostly worked with gifted and talented students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds. Being part of a transient military family, I have always felt one step behind, but each new challenge forced me to adapt quickly. Most often, I took the job that nobody else wanted. Looking back, each uncomfortable adaptation taught me something, and I am grateful for the lessons learned along my journey. Now, with over twenty-five years of teaching experience, I look back over the years with gratitude for every single student, especially the difficult ones. Every kid will forever be a part of me, and each one shaped me along the way. Every single school had one common thread: teachers were pressed for time. This is how I know, that having time-saving products can be a game-changer no matter who you are or where you teach. My hope is to help you save precious time through fun and time-saving products.
My areas of expertise are technology integration, brain based instruction, and differentiated instruction. Like so many teachers, my lessons integrate several disciplines simultaneously. Yes, this directly connects to saving time.
