About the store
Experience
Every classroom needs a little boost now and then! This store will provide teachers with tools to elevate student engagement and allow teachers to enjoy teaching again. It's like a vitamin classroom needs. I have had the pleasure of teaching high school business education to a diverse population of students at an alternative high school where I implemented teaching strategies that accommodate the vast array of learning styles. I worked as a professional development leader/consultant for Utah State Board of Education for eleven years during the developmental years of the required Financial Literacy graduation requirement. I am currently a learning coach, teaching financial literacy, and working as an educational consultant.
Teaching style
I am a very visual teacher. I love to have movement in the classroom (yes, I am PE certified and Business Ed). I would also add the word "tangible." I prefer hands on activities, real life scenarios, bright, vivid, and clean presentation, whether it is on screen, text, etc., mixed with a relaxed, cooperative, light environment...including a pinch of humor.
