Experience

With more than 20 years in public and private education, I’ve served as a classroom teacher, instructional leader, and college professor. My work has centered on supporting student success, strengthening instructional practices, and empowering educators at all stages of their careers. I bring real-world classroom knowledge and leadership experience to every resource I create, ensuring they are practical, engaging, and ready to use.

Teaching style

Key tenants to my educational philosophy: * Learning is a lifelong process. * All can learn - just not at the same rate/method. (Thank goodness! How boring would it be if we were all the same?) * Mistakes are the evidence of learning in progress. * Every day may not be good - but there's something good in every day! * It's acceptable to not know how, it's not acceptable to not try.

My own education history

Certification in Elementary Education (Gr 1-6), Educational Leadership. Endorsements added to teaching certificate: Reading, Special Education (K-12)

Additional biographical information

Married with 2 beautiful step-daughters. Our family is blessed to have a grandson and a granddaughter as well.
