My name is Carol. I am excited to be your online teacher. I retired after two decades in the classroom. I taught English, Visual Arts, Theatre Arts, Speech Communications, and Social Studies. I have taught students who range in ages from PreK-3 through High School Dual Credit. I directed two high school theatre programs for twelve years in addition to my classroom responsibilities. Many times I taught several subjects during the school day. 
 
I believe that all students can achieve mastery. I am a strong believer in cross-curricular learning. Learning does not have to be dull to be fun, and a way to excellence.  I believe this from evidence-based research and my own practice. I will implement various methods to engage all students. Excellence is not just a word, but a standard. But it is each student's excellence that is the target of my learning strategies.
