Teaching Style
I am open as to how I instruct a child. Since my field of teaching has been that of Special Education, my students have always been allowed to develop their own learning style that is best for them. I do maintain order, but given the nature of my students, my classroom was not always what one would call typical. My students in the past have done well, and have gone on to secondary institutions. I am proud to say that I have taught students that have graduated from NCState, High Point, Catwaba, and Vocational Schools as well.
My Hobbies
I love to read and enjoy watching and attending most sporting events. I have three sons that live all over the United States so I do enjoy traveling. I love animals and I enjoy cooking.
