More about me

I am looking for people to network with, make friends, and from whom I may continually learn.
I was a special ed teacher for 30 plus years. I retired from the classroom still loving to teach. I piloted a reading mentoring program my last year and a half, which gave my students better reading gains than I'd ever seen before. I now am a consultant for the program.
