Class Experience

In this one-time, guided-discussion class, students will learn how to take care of a pet dog. I have had dogs for my entire life and currently have four. I have had large and small breeds, inside and outside dogs, and adopted and champion-bred. I have spent countless hours carefully researching dog nutrition, training, and breed temperaments. Let’s have fun learning about and discussing dog care. 

*Students do not have to have a dog to take this class.

This class will include such topics as: 
•	Dog supplies
•	Dangers
•	Understanding puppyhood 
•	Nutrition
•	Grooming
•	Popular breeds with pros & cons
•	Adding someone to the family with a dog
•	Training (including home training, service training, and emotional support training.) * This class does not teach you how to train your dog to be a service dog, but I will teach you what kind of training service dogs go through. I can teach you tips to train your dog, and help troubleshoot some training problems. 

My classroom is supportive and friendly. I encourage participation gently by using my own pets as examples and asking questions that will nurture their confidence. I believe learning should be fun, and communication should be empowering.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Arkansas Teaching Certificate

My classroom is a safe, supportive environment where students learn communication, social, and problem-solving skills. Every child can succeed with guidance and encouragement. 

I am passionate about math. I know a lot of tricks and mnemonics to make math fun and easier to understand. I especially love helping struggling students achieve success. I have been a math teacher and tutor in public school and online since 2010. 

I am passionate about creative writing. There are so many ways to express what is in your heart through words, and I would love to help you find that passion as well. I have two years of classroom experience teaching English and writing in public school. I also have had twenty-five books published. Many of them have been translated and narrated. Let me help you bring out your creativity in a way that will astound your audience. 

I am also passionate about science and nature. From the expanse of outer space to the deepest depths of the ocean, from the first organisms to grace our planet to the future of technology, let’s explore the universe’s many incredible wonders. I have two years of classroom experience teaching science and robotics in public school. 

*I am going on maternity leave mid-late October.
