Create 'n Time

My teaching experience includes 25 years as a K-12 teacher, curriculum administrator, and district federal/state programs administrator. As a teacher, I specialized in middle school language arts and mathematics. Since retiring from the K-12 system, I have been teaching curriculum and education courses at the bachelors' and masters' degree levels as well as supervising student teachers. I am also a successful grant writer, specializing in competitive state and federal grant projects. As a private contractor, I also work to help teachers who need assistance to improve their skills.

I prefer project-based learning, cooperative groups, and teamwork. I firmly believe all students can learn and it is the teacher's responsibility to find the key to get students involved. Positive relationships are essential to a good learning environment. I love teaching at all levels, but middle schoolers are my absolute favorite!
