Before coming to Teachstone I worked my way from teaching middle school special education to mentoring and training birth to three childcare providers, working with each age level along the way. I have been called a "breath of fresh air" as well as "a rebel with a cause," for my insistence that relationships must always come first. Along the way I moved from Maine to Virginia and had the privilege of experiencing the CLASS tool from many angles -- as a teacher being observed and coached, an observer, a coach and mentor, and finally now as a trainer. I was raised to believe that my education is my responsibility to achieve, not someone else’s responsibility to give to me.
