About The Teacher
I have taught school for 15 years. I started out at Brink in 1996 and then went on to teach 6 years at Highland West Junior High, 1 year at Central Junior High and actually 5 years of Preschool at First Learning Center before returning to Brink in 2008. I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma with an English Degree as well as an Education Certification Degree in 1995. I also went through special training at Oklahoma University pertaining to English Teaching Methods focusing on Advanced Placement and Master Work in Human Relations as well as attended New York University emphasizing on Beatnik Writings and Poem Artistry.
I believe in treating children with respect and dignity and expect the same in return. I have a sense of humor and enjoy class room discussions. I want everyone to have a voice in class, and I expect those voices to be kind and considerate of each other. My 3 basic rules are Be Nice, Be on Time, and Be Ready.
