I am a teacher, editor and parent. I was in the communications industry for 10 years and had 2 sons, and went back to school to teach. I am passionate about teaching, development and learning. I am also the editor of an International Family Magazine, IF mag, that compliments my classroom work. It is a storytelling magazine from all family members around the world with the taglines "IF we could change the world with a story, would we?" and "We are the stories we share". I am interested in later elementary/middle school years as a transition to a more adult approach for learning where the magical skills of the child are observed for vocational training or higher education. I believe as teachers, parents that if we observe and record and give feedback, we can supply, guide and resource the student to a highly functioning, joyful adulthood. My slogan as a teacher would be, "The Journey to Find Your Magic"!
