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.

Identifying Important Communication Skills

Douglas, this is definitely an important skill to develop. It allows all students to think, it also gives a little more processing time for those students who may struggle a little more in this area. Dr. Ryan Meers
