About The Teacher
... I am so thrilled to have you in my class! This is my ninth year teaching gifted education. Before that, I lived in Guatemala for a few years and taught as a missionary in an orphanage. Additionally, I taught in the UL at Lafayette gifted program for nine years. I have a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and a Masters Degree in Gifted Education and Instructional Technology. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Teacher Development and Gifted Education. I love teaching with creative, relevant, and authentic experiences. I won a national teaching award in 2005: ING Unsung Heroes Award—National Excellence in Innovative and Creative Teaching! Additionally, I am currently in the process of having my pedagogical theories and strategies published. Fun Facts: * My husband and I have a maltese dog, Bambino, and he is our baby! * We love to travel the world, and we have been all over the globe! * I have six sisters! (Oh, my!) * I collect art, purses, shoes, and jewelry! * I graduated with Jake Delhomme. * We are huge Yankees, Saints, and LSU fans! * I am a Tool-belt Diva. (All the power tools in our house are mine!) ...
