About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Strategies for Working with Students with Learning Needs

Linda, I really like the idea of using analogies &/or the real life examples. These really do help the students in applying the more abstract concepts outside of the classroom. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
