1st year Teaching
Kokkola, Finland A unique thing about me is my first teaching post. I had a friend who did some student teaching through an overseas exchange program. She told me the school was looking ofr teachers. I had no job, and the adventure was hatched! -
I began teaching in Cove, Oregon
Cove During my first year of teaching in America I was busy with my 5th grade class as well as with the Football and Track teams I coached. It was a fun, busy time. Now my schedule has morphed into four hours a day with sixth graders, an hour a day with 8th graders and an hour a day with high scholers. It is challenging to have so many casses to prep for but I enjoy the diversity of the schedule. -
6th Grade
In 2000 I began teaching in the 6th grade. Essentially this is the same position I have now. -
Art
In 2005 I began teaching HS Art for one hour a day (when my 6th graders go to PE) It is an interesting switch and I enjoy working with the older students. I took the title photo as an example of a lighting assignment I gave these students. -
Began Masters Degree
