Welcome to my e-portfolio!

My portfolio is based on the D.E.S.E.R.T. Program Standards at Dixie Sate College. My passion for education began when I started homeschooling my four children in 1993. In 1997 I became the founder and director of American Heritage Academy (AHA). AHA is a K-8th faith based private school that was born out of multiple request from parents looking for an alternative to public education. During this time I also wrote the ‘Live and Learn' section for Desert Saints Magazine from 2oo2 -2004. In the classroom, I believe that it is the duty and morale obligation of the teacher to meet the needs of each and every student; to find where the student's knowledge and skills are lacking, and fill the breach. My future plans are to finish a Master program in Education that I have started at George Wythe College and write a chronological historical fiction series for young adults. I love working with young adults and believe that they are our best hope for good future leaders. It is important that they become critical thinkers and problems solvers. I know that I have the talent and motivation to teach these critical skills.
