TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught a variety of ages, mostly early elementary, for nearly 25 years. My diverse teaching career has taken me to the woods teaching environmental education, to classrooms teaching my own students, to having direct influence on the shape programming takes as a former director of education at an educational farm. It was on this farm that I started a homeschooling program. I love homeschooling and homeschoolers so much, I work for a distance learning homeschool company.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Many of Homeschooling and Homesteading's lessons and units are cross-curricular. The activities include hands-on, active, project-based experiences for homeschoolers, distance learners, and classrooms.
