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!

Class management for student success

Hi Jamilya, I concur! I am this type of instructor. I hardly ever have any disciplinary problems with my students because they know that I am very fair and a stickler for rules, policies, and procedures. Patricia Scales

Reducing student cheating

Hi Lynn, With today's software/webware it is so easy to sramble a test to have different versions. This is an excellent way to reduce cheating. Patricia Scales
