Professional Development for Educators

Picture
Literacy is at the root of all learning.  All courses and workshops contain a strong , present literacy component. 
My philosophy of education states that people of any age learn better when a “hands on approach” is used.  Every educational experience I design and teach, allows  people  to “experience” learning at its deepest and most personal level.
