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.

Working with Students with Learning Disabilities

Bruce, this is a great observation. Make sure that this student does not feel out of place or that he/she doesn't belong, but can be just as successful with the resources that are available. Dr. Ryan Meers
