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!

Hi Nicole, Visual adds better clarity. Most students will understand what is expected of them, if they can see what is expected of them. Patricia Scales

Hi Robin, Awesome! What a caring instructor to email assignments to absent students. I put the daily assignment on my voicemail so that absent students can call and get the assignment. Patricia Scales

Hi Aldorey, It is always good to give students a hard copy as to what is expected of them so that they have something to refer to at their disposal. Patricia Scales
