She has completed a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in English Language and Literature and a minor in French Second Language. She also has a Bachelor of Middle and High School Education and a Masters advanced certification in literacy education. She has also received International Baccalaureate Training (English B) and has received multiple trainings in resource and methods (Special Education).
The other dedicated teachers on the Presto Plans team also have extensive educational and classroom experience in English Language Arts.
Additional biographical information
I spent nearly a decade in the classroom teaching English just like you. During that time, most of my free time outside of the classroom was spent developing or searching for resources, planning for my classes, or marking the stacks of paper that continually piled up. I fell into a pattern of sacrificing my own time with my family and friends to work, and I still never quite felt like I was doing enough. It's my mission to help teachers escape this pattern and feel organized, inspired, and fully supported in the classroom. - Bonnie Hamer
