About the store
I have been teaching elementary art in an Urban School district in Ohio since 2003. In 2006, I was asked to help write the curriculum for the district's elementary art department. Then in 2007, I was asked to clean up all of the curriculum lessons and appendices, create a timeline and integrate standards. In the following years I streamlined timelines for the rest of the visual art department. Through this process, I discovered my love of technology and how valuable it was in my own teaching style. Throughout the years I have created my own worksheets and handouts on the computer for students because the copier was jammed or there was a long line. Or simply there wasn't a worksheet out there so I created my own. I have been told that teachers could use what I make so I hope my work benefits your lessons and teaching.

Teaching style
There must be a balance of foundation and play. I design lessons to challenge students to solve problems, design, create and at the same time give them confidence and awareness of the world around them.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My students' work have been selected three years in a row by two different art contests.
1. Friends of the Ravines. "Frog Kingdom" (http://www.friendsoftheravines.org/)
2. Port of Columbus's art galleries (http://flycolumbus.com/at-port-columbus/art-displays/).
In 2011, I had the privilege and honor to create CCS Unified Art's webpage. http://unifiedarts.columbus.k12.oh.us/visualarts/visual-art
My own education history
I have a Bachelors and Masters of Art Education from The Ohio State University.
With the educational changes from standards to common core, and focus on project-based learning, I have participated in numerous professional learning on how to incorporate SCIENCE, MATH, and TECHNOLOGY in art lessons without losing the ART. Hence STEAM.
