Experience
Suzanne has taught in the U.S. and in Central America. She is National Board Certified with a Masters in Education, plus 30 hours. She has taught 4th and 5th grade regular education, inclusion, and gifted education, 7th and 8th grade math, and even 10th grade literature. She also served as a district technology trainer for other educators and acted as a supervising teacher for student teachers.
Teaching style
It's all about teaching the love of learning! Suzanne believes that education should be fun and engaging, so her classroom has always been full of unique learning ideas and experiences for her students. "Controlled chaos" might be a good term to apply here! Students may be filming an op ed for a video, creating period newspapers for a novel being read, performing science experiments, creating a "to-scale" city on a grid, or doing a geometry scavenger hunt and documentary throughout the school!
Awards & shining teacher moments
Suzanne was named Louisiana Middle School Teacher of the Year and was awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. She has received numerous awards and been awarded close to $50,000 in grants for her classroom and school.
