My own education history
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls in 2014, with a bachelors degree in Agricultural Education. I am also Project WET Certified, Project WILD Certified, Project Learning Tree Certified, Population Connection Certified, and Hunter Safety Certified. In 2019, I became a National Geographic Certified Educator.
Additional biographical information
My students were the inspiration for starting my store. I am passionate about working with middle school students and teaching them about agriculture. When I first started teaching at the middle school level, I spent many hours scouring the internet for quality middle school lessons, however, I felt that the lessons I found for middle school agriculture classes didn't fit the needs of my classroom or my students. This prompted me to create these resources for my students!
My larger resources contain modifications for students with different learning abilities. As an agriculture teacher, I see all of the students in the school and I feel that all students, no matter the learning ability, should be provided a good quality education. I provide those resources to hopefully help you, too.
I enjoy creating resources for students, so if there are any areas of agricultural education content that you would like to suggest that I create, please email me at guidingowleducation@gmail.com.
If you have any questions or concerns about one of the products on my store, please feel free to send me a message or contact me at guidingowleducation@gmail.com.
Outside of creating resources for students, I enjoy baking, watching crime shows, working with plants, and caring for my rabbit!
