Do you believe education can be exciting, inspiring, and full of joy? We do too!
I love the quote by William Butler Yeats, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” It’s about getting the kids involved, engaged, and fired up about learning (while juggling the rest of life too!)
A bit about me: I have my Master’s from Brown University. I have more than 20 years of teaching experience. I was a high school teacher for many years both in the U.S. and internationally and also taught for the University of Maryland before leaving to homeschool my 3 wonderful kids.
