About the Teacher:
I am the youngest of three girls. I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Monroe in Elementary Education 1-8 and in Leadership & Supervision. I have one son. I am currently working on a second master's degree in Educational Technology Leadership. In my spare time, I love reading and writing creatively. I can play Sudoku for hours on end. My guilty pleasures are Big Brother, Survivor, and Dr. Pol.
Philosophy or Core Belief
Every child can learn something about the subject in some way. We have to work to find out what works and how they seem to learn best.
