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 Robert, I concur! Examples really prove to students that they can do it! I persoanlly think showing examples at various grade levels is a good idea. The student gets the full spectrum of failing work to excellent work. Patricia Scales
