My Teaching Philosophy
Originally from Philadelphia, I am a veteran educator who has enjoyed all levels of the educational process from teaching kindergarten in California to training astronauts at NASA. I truly believe learning should be rigorous so that the student experiences substantial growth.
I see no reason why learning shouldn't be fun, interesting and even entertaining.
I achieved my M.S. at U of H Clearlake in Instructional Technology and earned Teacher Certification at Cal State Dominguez Hills. My first two B.A. degrees in English and Speech & Dramatics prepared me for a successful career in broadcasting but I happily transferred those communication skills to the classroom.
My Texas board certifications include English as a Second Language and Information Processing Technologies. Supplementing second language acquisition with technology is the culmination of my life's work. I enjoy the educational process so much that each lesson is as exciting for me as it is for my clients.
The daily progressive achievements of my students are my greatest rewards
