About me

I've been a career educator for over 20 years. I currently serve as the Academic Coordinator for Brookstone College of Business and continue to be active in the classroom as a Business Instructor. My motto is "A student doesn't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." I was honored to receive the Career College Association National Teacher of the Year award in 2001. I just love teaching!

Dealing with Challenging Students

Hi Ray, It is best to resolve complaints instantly. You are on point, when you give students too much time to think a situation becomes more challenging. Issues should be nipped in the bud immediately. Patricia

Hello Ronald, I love it the way you shoot straight with your students, and you do not sugar coat things. I particularly like they way you use both age group of students so that one group learns from the other group. You have smart tactics that you utilize to help your students learn. Continue to shine as an educator! Patricia

Hi Marc, A lot of our students right out of high school are very naive. They don't have a clue about life. We have to simply guide our students in all areas. Patricia
